New England Patriot safety Jabrill Pepper‘s fate will soon be in the hands of the jury at Quincy District Court.

The prosecution rested its case on Thursday, leaving the defense about 20 minutes to call its only witness: Peppers himself. Peppers concluded his testimony on Friday. The defense called no further witnesses and rested its own case at 10:46 a.m. today.

Peppers, 29, faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon — defined as the wall of his apartment — and assault and battery on a household or family member. Judge Mark Coven said he will also instruct the jury on a lesser included charge of simple assault.

Peppers was arrested early in the morning of Oct. 5 at his Braintree townhouse following an evening in which he celebrated his 29th birthday with friends and a sexual rendezvous with a years-long “hook up” partner. It ended with what both sides agree was a confrontation — but the reasons and the severity of it are in dispute.

She would tell police that night that Peppers had “hit her, choked her, took off her clothing and put her outside,” according to the police report.

This is a developing story.
