I just read that he was dropped by Rutgers and that they have now found the 2nd suspect--the guy that punched the bouncer/ex- Mankato State player from behind. Nelson then allegedly (they have video evidence, so it's pretty certain) kicked him in the head while he was already likely knocked out.

Motive: apparently the victim had been kissing Nelson's GF.

Terrible things happen after 2am. One bad decision can ruin several lives in an instant.

My goodness. Was Nelson drunk? What an idiot.

I just read that Nelson got no jail time, 100 hours of community service instead.
