NFL player Josh Sills Ohio rape case verdict
Josh Sills was indicted on the first-degree felony charges nearly two weeks before the Eagles went to Arizona to face off against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
A jury acquitted Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Joshua Sills of raping and kidnapping a former high school classmate in 2019.
Jurors started deliberating shortly after 12 pm Friday and returned the verdict nearly three hours later at 2:45 pm.
Sills showed no emotion as the verdict was read. He then was given the opportunity to thank the jury.
“I have done nothing wrong,” Sills said in court after thanking the jury.
The Eagles organization released a statement saying he will return to the team’s active roster list.
