Video has emerged depicting the moment Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punched his then-fiancee (and now wife) Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino.
TMZ released footage Monday from the Feb. 15 incident, raising questions once more about Rice’s light punishment for violating theNFL’s personal conduct policy.
Rice and Janay were married March 28, and the Ravens running back received a two-game suspension from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on July 24.
In July, following the announcement of his punishment, Rice commented on his suspension in a statement released on the Ravens’ website:
It is disappointing that I will not be with my teammates for the first two games of the season, but that’s my fault. As I said earlier, I failed in many ways.
But, Janay and I have learned from this. We have become better as a couple and as parents. I am better because of everything we have experienced since that night. The counseling has helped tremendously.
