Former four-division world titleholder Adrien Broner, whose trial on charges of felony assault and aggravated robbery was set to begin on Wednesday in his hometown of Cincinnati, had all charges against him dropped when the alleged victim and star witness failed to show up at the Hamilton County courthouse in Ohio. Ron Santo Jersey .Michael Tranter, the special prosecutor in the case, told ESPN.com that it was the third time the victim had not shown up. Without the key witness being willing to testify, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman had no choice but to dismiss the case, Tranter said.The trial was supposed to start [Wednesday] but the victim did not show up. He was supposed to, Tranter said. If they dont show up, for whatever reason, the judge can dismiss the case. I cant move forward without a witness.Tranter, who was assigned to the case because Hamilton County prosecutor Joseph Deters recused himself due to a personal relationship with somebody close to Broner, said it did not come as a complete surprise because police had tried to serve the victim with a subpoena multiple times but could not locate him.So the case is dismissed, but it could always be refiled if the witness comes forward or there is new evidence presented in the case, Tranter said.Earlier in the year the victim dropped a civil lawsuit against Broner.The charges stemmed from an incident during the early-morning hours of Jan. 21, when Broner allegedly assaulted a man and robbed him of $12,000 at gunpoint outside of a Cincinnati bowling alley. Broner allegedly lost the money to the victim during a night of high-stakes betting on bowling games, knocked him unconscious outside the bowling alley after a confrontation and took the money.The trial was supposed to begin on July 20, but when Broner did not show up to the courthouse on time Ruehlman found him in contempt and sent him to county jail for 30 days. Broner arrived at the courthouse about three hours late, but the judge did not rescind the contempt charge. Broner appeared ill when he arrived, and Ruehlman told Broner he thought he looked like he had a hangover and sent him to jail. Broner, 27, served the 30 days.After the bowling alley incident, Broner had two outstanding felony warrants issued for his arrest, but he still boxed in Washington, D.C., in a nationally televised fight on April 1 and knocked out Ashley Theophane in the ninth round -- one day after being stripped of his junior welterweight world title for failing to make the 140-pound weight limit.Broner (32-2, 24 KOs), who has won world titles at junior lightweight, lightweight, junior welterweight and welterweight, returned to Cincinnati and turned himself in on April 4 as had been arranged between his attorney and Hamilton County officials a few days before the fight. Broner was released later that day on $100,000 bond and pled not guilty as his arraignment on April 5.Broner is expected to fight again before the end of the year. Joe Maddon Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Ryne Sandberg Jersey . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. http://www.thecubsteamshop.com/Cubs-Carlos-Zambrano-Kids-Jersey/ ;. The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. DETROIT -- Moral victories wont put the Detroit Tigers in the playoffs, but this was one loss with a clear silver lining.Anibal Sanchez pitched effectively into the seventh inning before Minnesota finally broke through, and the Twins went on to beat the Tigers 6-2 on Tuesday night. Sanchez struck out 10 in only his second quality start of the season.He did an outstanding job -- thats probably as good an outing as hes had this season, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. He did give up three runs, but two of those were after he was out of the game. He had really good fastball command, and thats big for him.Tommy Milone held Detroit scoreless until the ninth, and the Twins scored five runs in the seventh.Brian Dozier hit a two-run homer, Eduardo Nunez had three RBI and Milone (3-2) breezed through the Detroit lineup until the ninth, when the Tigers finally chased him from the game. Down 6-0 at the start of the inning, Detroit scored twice and actually had the tying run at the plate with one out when James McCann came up with the bases loaded against Brandon Kintzler.McCann and Jose Iglesias both struck out to end it.Milone allowed two runs and four hits in 8 1/3 innings. The Tigers had only one hit before the ninth.This was Milones longest outing since July 5, 2013, when he also went 8 1/3 innings for Oakland against Kansas City.Sanchez (5-11) allowed three runs in six-plus innings, an encouraging sign for Detroit after he entered the game with a 6.75 ERA. Sanchez allowed seven hits and two walks. His line would have been even better, but the two runners on base when he was pulled in the seventh both came around to score.Sanchez received a warm ovation when he left the game, and he raised his glove to acknowledge thee fans. Ian Happ Jersey. They deserve more than Ive given them this year, he said. Hopefully, I can keep throwing the ball the way I did today, and we can get some wins.Nunez opened the scoring in the third with a sacrifice fly, and Sanchez and Milone were locked in an impressive duel until the Detroit right-hander allowed a walk and a single to start the seventh. Bruce Rondon came on in relief, and after a sacrifice bunt, Nunez poked a two-run single to center.Nunez stole second and scored on Joe Mauers two-out single. Dozier followed with his 16th homer of the season to make it 6-0.LAST-DITCH RALLYMilone allowed consecutive singles to Cameron Maybin, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez to start the bottom of the ninth. He came out of the game after a sacrifice fly by Nick Castellanos made it 6-2.Kintzler came on and allowed a single by Justin Upton and an infield single by Mike Aviles before retiring McCann and Iglesias.To have a good night and have it come, the tying run up to the plate there, it gets your attention pretty fast, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. But he made some really quality pitches those last two hitters.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: Ausmus remained noncommittal about a timetable for LHP Daniel Norris (right oblique strain) to return. Norris made a rehab start Monday night, but there may not be any rush to bring him back after Sanchezs solid outing.UP NEXTTwins: RHP Ervin Santana (3-8) starts Wednesday in the finale of this three-game series. He has a 2.18 ERA in his last five starts.Tigers: RHP Justin Verlander (9-6) takes the mound, trying for his sixth win in seven decisions.
