 The Playboy Playmate galpal of Cleveland Browns [quarterback] Jeff Garcia, accused of grabbing a dance pole and karate-kicking Garcia's ex in the head, was found not guilty of assaulting the woman...
| I'm not sure I'm happy living in a country where a kick in the head isn't assault... |
However, Judge Anita Laster said Carmella DeCesare did violate a protective order the pigskin player's scorned sweetie, Kristen Hine, had against the reigning Playmate of the Year.
| Oh. Well. That's different. As long as protective orders are sacred... |
During the three-day misdemeanor assault trial in Cleveland Municipal Court, the judge heard testimony from Hine, 32, who accused DeCesare, 22, of kicking her in the head last Aug. 21 at a nightspot appropriately called Tramp... Testimony revealed the women apparently were brawling over the affections of Garcia, who took the stand this week in his newer, younger Playmate's defense. He portrayed his ex as an obsessive groupie with an annoying attraction for him. DeCesare, who faced a year in jail on the assault charge, stands to receive probation, community service and a fine. |
