Shilo Sanders testifies in bankruptcy trial regarding 2015 assault judgment

Shilo Sanders testified on Tuesday at his bankruptcy trial in Denver, claiming he acted in self-defense during a 2015 incident with a security guard. The testimony marks the first time Sanders has addressed the event in court since a Texas state court issued an $11.89 million judgment against him in 2022. During the proceedings, Sanders denied allegations that he assaulted John Darjean, asserting instead that he was the victim of physical mistreatment at school. The testimony conflicts with findings from previous investigations that cleared Darjean of wrongdoing. Judge Michael Romero oversaw the second day of the trial, which included a brief video deposition from Deion Sanders. The court is currently weighing whether the debt remains enforceable or can be discharged through bankruptcy proceedings.
