Ochocinco Pleads 'Not Guilty' In Domestic Abuse Case

Well, I guess we know that this will be long and drawn out, whether it needed to be or not. Chad Johnson has pleaded 'Not Guilty' to misdemeanor battery charges stemming from the alleged attack of his wife, Evelyn Lozada, last month. Chad's plea was entered by his attorney, he was not present.

Chad was arrested August 11th, lost his job, tattooed Evelyn's face on his calves and refuses to sign the divorce papers. This could have been over with a simple signature. I wonder what he's waiting for and why he plead 'Not Guilty' while he has admitted and gave an apology for it.

He may get off with less time going this way and may even not get found guilty at all. It's a gamble and def "let's make a deal" time

"I wonder what he's waiting for and why he plead 'Not Guilty' while he has admitted and gave an apology for it."

This is the EXACT reason why these people need to not speak on anything involving legal matters. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of law. He won't be able to beat this one. Nice try Chad.. #flopsagain

Alot of people plead not guilty in court even when their guilty. A couple years back had a lil situation lol and my attorney told me to plead not guilty although I was. Anyway as far as the divorce I think he's hoping that she will change her mind. He's crazy for getting that tattoo tho. Smh

Chad Johnson has finally given his estranged wife Evelyn Lozada what she wants...his divorce papers.  Despite the fact Evelyn filed a month ago and Chad kept refusing to cooperate, he marched into the courthouse this morning to make it official.


Deets inside, plus his "Not Guilty" plea on that battery charge...

According to reports, Chad has finally filed his own divorce papers, declaring the marriage is irretrievably broken.  But Chad also says he and Evelyn had a pre-nup that should be honored.  The pre-nup stated that each party would foot their own legal bills in the case of a divorce.  And since Evelyn's trying to make Chad pay her legal bills, he wants the pre-nup enforced.

The divorce still isn't final...yet.  But reportedly Evelyn is jumping for joy.  Chad's been tweeting his fans saying she is not to blame for ruining his life.

As for that battery charge the state attorney's office put on him, Chad entered a plea of not guilty in a Florida court this morning.  The L.A. Times reports:

If convicted of misdemeanor battery, Johnson would face a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also be ordered to perform community service, probation or anger-management classes.

Meanwhile, Evelyn will appear on "Iyanla: Fix My Life" Saturday night on OWN to give a tearful recount of the failed marriage.

"Iyanla: Fix My Life",  glad she's getting help, but *groans* it could be done out of the public eye.  After Ilyana, what next?
