DeAndre Baker's Case Dismissed After Attorney Dean Arrested on Extortion Charge
ROB GOLDBERG
NOVEMBER 16, 2020
All charges against free-agent cornerback DeAndre Baker have been dropped after misconduct from attorney William Dean, according to Art Stapleton of the Record.
Baker, who was released by the New York Giants in September, was charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm and faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted.
Dean represented three of Baker's four alleged victims, but he was arrested on an extortion charge Monday, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.
The alleged victims—Julius Lamar, Tommy Hartshaw and Steven Compton—reportedly demanded $1.5 million from Baker to recant their previous statements, which they did last week. However, Dunleavy reported no money changed hands.
The Broward State Attorney's Office announced charges would be dropped as a result.
