Brown's plea hearing postponed to October 28

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown's plea deal hearing was postponed until October 28 after the presiding judge was unavailable due to another trial.

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown arrived in court Wednesday ready to resolve an attempted murder charge with a no-contest plea to aggravated assault. However, the hearing was postponed because the judge was presiding over another trial. The case has been rescheduled for October 28.

Brown's attorney Mark Eiglarsh expressed frustration at the delay, noting his client has been wearing an ankle monitor without resolution. Despite the setback, Eiglarsh remains cautiously optimistic about the proposed deal that would result in no jail time and avoid a conviction on Brown's record.
