Former NFL star Antonio Brown filed a motion this week to dismiss the second-degree murder charge against him in Miami based on Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. The motion was filed Monday but shared with ESPN by his lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, on Saturday.

Brown, 37, spent nearly six months in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to where he traveled after the incident, before being extradited by U.S. marshals. Shortly after he arrived in Miami last month, he pleaded not guilty and was arraigned.

"Brown's use of force on May 16, 2025, was fully justified," the motion read. "Brown reasonably believed that the alleged victim intended to cause him serious harm."
