Moon’s wife continues testimony Jury will decide if Cowboys
â–¡ Felicia Moon said
she passed up chances
to detail her attack.
RICHMOND, Texas (AP) —
Prosecutors rested their assault
case Tuesday against Warren
Moon after the quarterback’s wife
acknowledged she passed up sev
eral chances to tell her side of the
story.
Felicia Moon in earlier testi
mony repeatedly characterized
the Fort Bend County district at
torney’s office as overzealous and
not interested in her version of
the July 18 argument that result
ed in scratches and bruises along
her neck and shoulders.
She admitted she ignored
chances to volunteer the complete
story to investigators who came
to the couple’s suburban Houston
home, to the media who showed
up at the house for a news confer
ence she called three days after
the argument, and later when
she met with prosecutors.
“I had an opportunity,” said
Felicia Moon, 39, who returned to
the stand Tuesday.
Under repeated questioning by
prosecutor Mike Elliott, she con
ceded she did not try to correct
the publicized version of events
detailed in a four-page statement
she made to police and in an in
dictment against her 39-year-old
husband.
Moon, who spent 10 years
with the Houston Oilers and is
now with the
Minnesota
Vikings, faces
up to a year in
jail and a
$4,000 fine if
convicted of
the misde
meanor as
sault charge.
Elliott tried
to have Felicia
Moon’s four-
page state
ment submit
Moon
ted as evidence Tuesday. But
County Court-at-Law Judge Lar
ry Wagenbach agreed with de
fense attorney Rusty Hardin,
who said it was inadmissible.
According to Texas law, unless
a person who gave the statement
refuses to acknowledge the con
tents, the entire written version
cannot be admitted as evidence.
Felicia Moon never has denied
giving the statement, but has
said it is incomplete.
One of the most hotly contest
ed portions of the statement is
over the words “chocked” and
“choked.” Felicia Moon’s state
ment uses the word “chocked”
twice and “choked” once, accord
ing to portions read to jurors.
She has said her husband
“chocked” her, explaining he
wedged his hands behind her
shoulders while holding her down
because of her excited state dur
ing the argument.
Missouri City Police Detective
Andi Wiltse contended Tuesday
the word “chocked” is a mis
spelling of the word “choked.”
Felicia Moon has testified her
husband “choked” her while try
ing to calm her. She said he
quickly released his grip once
she started coughing and has in
sisted he did not mean to harm
her.
She also said he had never hit
her since 1986, when she filed a
divorce petition alleging he had
assaulted her on three occasions.

â–¡ Tuesday, a judge dis
missed Jones' motion
and ruled that the case
would proceed.
NEW YORK (AP) — A jury
will decide if the Super Bowl
champion Dallas Cowboys vio
lated league marketing con
tracts by promoting companies
on their own.
In a victory for the league,
U.S. District Judge Shira
Scheindlin on Tuesday rejected
the motion to dismiss by Cow
boys owner Jerry Jones and
ruled the suit by NFL Proper
ties can proceed. No trial date
was set.
The NFL sued the Cowboys
last September for more than
$300 million, saying the club
had broken its agreements re
garding club trademarks and
logos.
NFL lawyers argued last
week that its negotiating stance
for deals it makes on behalf of
all the football teams are weak
ened when one team promotes
its own.
For example, while the rest of
the league is promoting Coca-
Cola through a deal arranged by
the NFL’s marketing arm, the
Cowboys are promoting and sell
ing Pepsi at Texas Stadium.
Scheindlin said in a written
opinion Tuesday the NFL had
shown the minimal facts re
quired to survive an effort by the
Cowboys to toss the lawsuit out
of court before trial.
The NFL alleged that deals
the Cowboys made with Pepsi,
Nike and American Express vio
lated a trust agreement the club
had signed in 1982 authorizing
the NFL to negotiate commercial
uses of the team’s name, helmet,
uniform and slogans.
“This is a blatant breach of...
the most fundamental obliga
tions of good faith dealing,” NFL
lawyer Herbert Wachtell said at
least week’s hearing.
“This is about power,"
