The agent for Dolphins tight end Randy McMichael doesn't want people to judge his client until the legal system runs its course.
McMichael's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, made his first public comments Sunday since McMichael was arrested and charged with misdemeanor simple battery and criminal trespass charges after an alleged altercation with his wife last weekend at a Waffle House near Augusta, Ga.
"Just like last year, I hope that people will not jump to conclusions," Rosenhaus said on Miami TV station WSVN's Sports Xtra, where he is a regular guest. "Randy was exonerated in the past. We believe he will be again.
"I hope people don't think he's guilty until he has the opportunity to have his day in court. I think things are going to work out I know things are going to work out for Randy."
McMichael also was arrested in June 2004 at his Weston home after an altercation with his wife, who was pregnant at the time, but battery charges were dropped.
Rosenhaus said he had spoken to the Dolphins about McMichael's latest arrest.
"The team is behind Randy," Rosenhaus said. "They are supporting him and we're confident Randy is going to put everything behind him and have a great season."
