Peter was facing criminal charges however despite the claims, Peter posted an update this morning to his Instagram page and said 12 jurors found him not guilty.
The Baltimore Banner reports,
Thomas, 62, was acquitted in Baltimore Circuit Court of second-degree assault. The jury deliberated for less than an hour.
“We’re very happy with the verdict,” said Warren Brown, Thomas’ attorney, outside the courtroom in the Elijah E. Cummings Courthouse in Baltimore.
“This man is 62, has led a stellar life, built a successful business. And I think the jury rendered the right verdict.”
When the verdict was read, Chanel Williams, who had accused Thomas of choking her, quickly got up and left the courtroom.
