D.A. Rejects Tequila/Merriman Case

Posted Sep 11th 2009 6:46PM by TMZ Staff

The San Diego District Attorney has declined to prosecute Shawne Merriman over accusations that the NFL star choked Tila Tequila and refused to trapped her in his mansion.

The San Diego D.A. just released the following statement:

"After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. The case is now closed."

UPDATE: The General Manager of the San Diego Chargers has issued the following statement: "It's really good news for Shawne. We're happy things worked out for him on the legal front."

3. They probably threw it out because of the way Ms. Tequila conducts herself in person and on television. Mr. Merriman is quite a large individual and I think personally that if he "choked" her that he would have left enormous deep bruising. JMO

8. Just like everyone thought - TILA YOU LYING SKANK - GO BACK TO HOOKING IN VIETNAM.
You set at home and made those bruises on your arm - you planned it all! Even sitting in traffic with all the windows down so the paps would be SURE to see you yesterday, then looked embarrassed when they came up to your window - gee, how come even the back windows were down? FAMEHOAR MUCH?
EVERYONE. KNEW. YOU. LIED.
How come there aren't any marks on your neck ya cheap trick? How come you lied saying you never drink alcohol when you had been on Twitter saying you were drunk the same night?
You are a P.O.S. and I hope you rot for trying to ruin this man's life - and it's only because you set back REAL VICTIMS 100 years - they will now report domestic violence less and/or try to lie and destroy someone's life the same way you tried just because they aren't getting enough attention.
I FUGGIN HATE YOU!

15. I agree with you Trixie.... He "photo op" showing off her bruises looks like she is posing. BTW I know for a fact you can get those kinds of bruises from bumping into things and falling down drunk. Tila is a loser.
