Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable won't face charges after being investigated over allegations that he assaulted one of his assistants, ending a two-month saga that was a cloud over the team's season.
Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said Thursday that the investigation concluded no charges were warranted.
Assistant Randy Hanson told Yahoo! Sports earlier this month that Cable came up from behind him and knocked him out of his chair. Hanson said he broke his jaw and cracked two teeth after hitting a table. Hanson also alleged that Cable threatened to kill him before the other coaches pulled him away.
Lieberstein said interviews with witnesses established that Cable did not punch Hanson or make any verbal threats. He said the evidence showed that Cable became angry and rushed toward Hanson, but one of the assistants stepped between the coaches. Cable ran into the other assistant, who bumped into Hanson and knocked him out of his chair. The witnesses also told authorities that Cable then grabbed Hanson by the shirt but never struck or threatened him.

Lieberstein also said Hanson didn't file a report with the police until later, after the alleged incident. He also said there were inconsistencies in Hanson's story.
Sounds like a big bunch of bolgna on Hanson's part to me. Agree?

I can't say for sure if Cable really broke Hanson's jaw, but it was a matter of Cable's word against Hanson's and Cable prevailed.

But the witnesses say differently.

If that's the case, Hanson should file a civil suit against Cable.
