Β Events continue to unfold in the Greg Hardy assault case, and every time a new item pops up, people try to make up their minds about the entire case. Β We’re so used to having things wrapped up in an hour like they do on Law and Order, that we let every new fact sway our decision. Β But just like TV, real life cases have lots of twists and turns. Β Maybe even more.
The twist Thursday: Nicole Holder didn’t show up for the court hearing to put a restraining order on Greg Hardy. Β So that’s dismissed. Β Not only that, but her lawyer says he’s out because the two of them have irreconcilable differences. Β And it’s the first time he’s left a client in 18 years. Β Of course, we have no idea why he split.
But we do know why Holder and Hardy were fighting: Nelly. Β As in the rapper and part-owner of the Bobcats. Β That Nelly. Β At some point, she’d had a relationship with him, then tried to build things back with Hardy. Β Of course, there could be a million reasons why she and her lawyer split, but we simply don’t know them. Β We also don’t know why she didn’t show in court. Β But it doesn’t mean her concerns for her safety aren’t valid.
And with so many potential changes to the story, our Man on the Edge, Robert Wilder, asked: should the news media stop covering the story until it’s over?
