The NFL star was arrested for domestic violence on August 11 after Lozada found a receipt for condoms, sparking an argument that allegedly led Johnson to head-butt her.

Johnson, who’d only married Lozada weeks earlier, was subsequently cut from the Miami Dolphins and saw his reality show with Lozada canceled.

She also filed for divorce.

    The Courts are notorious for being backed up but a weak economy has only made matters worse (some factors are due to a reduced work force of court staff & budget cuts); I have practiced for years now & it still amazes me how long it takes to get a courtroom. In order to charge him his attorney had to wait in line to get their motions heard……funny, the law doesn’t care who you are, everyone goes thru the judicial the same way…there’s no favortism. Hope this helps!
