BLAKELY, Ga. -- New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grant has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter stemming from a February altercation at a nightclub.
Does anyone know anything else about this? I didn't think he was facing an indictment. It's a good think we have McCray incase this becomes an issue going into the season.

BLAKELY, Ga. -- New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grant has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter stemming from a February altercation at a nightclub.
Grant, who was stabbed in the neck during the fracas, was charged by an Early County grand jury that also charged Laquient Macklin with felony murder and feticide in the shooting death of Korynda Reed, 23. Reed died after being taken to the Southeast Alabama Medical Center in Dothan, after the fight early Feb. 3.
The indictment was posted on the website of the Early County News on Tuesday.
District Attorney Charles M. Ferguson could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Sheriff's Capt. Will Caudill said at the time of the melee that there was no known connection between Grant and Reed. He said the fight started inside the club and then moved outside, and Grant was attacked after shots were fired.
Woodrow Gray was indicted on a charge of aggravated assault in the knife attack on Grant, a former University of Georgia star from nearby Colquitt.
Grant was selected by the Saints in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He had 2½ sacks in 2007 while starting 14 games for the Saints and has 38½ in his six-year career.
In addition to Grant and Macklin, and Marshae Stromer, Anthony Wilson, Jarvis Tinson, Rodreaco Gray and Woodrow Gray were charged with involuntary manslaughter for alleged participation in the fight.
Grant also received misdemeanor fighting charges
I wouldnt worry to much yet an indictment just means there will be further investigating into this. He was attacked after the shot were fired which means he wasn't a willing paticipant and got invi\olved against his will(hopefully). Let's wait and see what develops.

Just another DA trying to make a name for himself. Justice will prevail.

just a big name involved in something and want to get national exposure. i hope nothing will come of this, it wasnt he that pulled the trigger. funny how nothing like this surfaced during the whole stabbed in the neck story. dont know how much they got couldnt be much, i had forgot about it, and was releived that the indictment was about this, thought there was something new.
keep your fingers crossed.

Good points. This was a tragic event, but it seems like they just indicted everyone who was involved in the fight. From what I read when the incident happened, he did sound like Grant was a victim and not responsible for what happened.

i really don't think there's any substance to this, i think the indictments are a way for them to make sure that everyone responsible sees justice, so why not try every avenue, i'm not worried about it, i think it wil pass, if not more would've come out earlier
