NEW YORK (AP) - A hearing for former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice appealing his NFL suspension has concluded after two days and testimony from the former running back and the head of the league.
Rice and his wife Janay Rice left the hearing separately on Thursday about three hours apart, after each testified at the New York office of a neutral arbiter. The arbitration hearing will determine whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying a two-game suspension of Rice, making it indefinite after video of the running back hitting his wife was released by TMZ.
Rice's attorney, Peter Ginsberg, said after the hearing that he can trust that the process has been fair.
Two people familiar with the case say there's no timetable for the former federal judge presiding over the case to make her decision. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the arbiter has told the sides not to discuss details of the private hearing.
