New accusations: Adrian Peterson injured another son while disciplining 4-year-old

[TexasTowelie]

HOUSTON -- Photos and text messages obtained by the I-Team reveal another incident in which Adrian Peterson is accused of injuring another son while disciplining the boy.

The four-year-old is by a different mother than the alleged victim in the Montgomery County case, in which Peterson is charged with felony injury to a child. In that case, Peterson admits to repeatedly striking the boy with a tree branch or "switch," but has maintained he did not intend to harm the child, and was using his judgment as a parent to discipline his son.

The latest incident allegedly occurred last June, while the boy, who lives out of state, was visiting Peterson at his gated home in The Woodlands. A photo, allegedly texted by Peterson to the boy's mother, shows a head wound to the boy covered by two bandages. Other photos, allegedly taken weeks later, reveal a scar over his right eye.

The text messages also describe an exchange about what happened. They contain numerous misspellings and shorthand:

Mother: "What happened to his head?"

Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."

Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."

Peterson: "Yep."

Mother: "Why?"

Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."

He will name all his boys Adrian and all his girls Adrianna--that makes it a lot easier to remember!

6. Don't know if that quite meets the standard.

The Cowboys are going to get Josh Brent back on their team after his teammate died while Brent was driving drunk.

8. True that ya just never know...

This though will be used against Peterson as evidence of an ongoing pattern of behavior. If convicted, his punishment could go anywhere from probation to two years in stir and a $10,000 fine.

"This is very damaging information," Burton said.

Damaging, Burton said, because prosecutors in Montgomery County can use it as evidence in the felony case against Peterson.

"To prove intent, that it was not an accident, and to show that it was a course of conduct," Burton said.

"It wasn't a one-off," he said.

7. Now we know why he hired the best defense lawyer in Houston -

he's going to need him. I'm about at the point of boycotting the NFL until they do some serious stepping up here. This guy was reinstated today - he's scheduled to play next Sunday.
