Desmond Green ’s attorney disputes a number of facts alleged by Florida state prosecutors in a deadly car crash that landed the UFC lightweight in jail after being arrested on numerous charges , including manslaughter DUI. The attorney, Jaime Benjamin, claims a truck towing a trailer first veered into Green’s lane, causing the multi-car collision that killed two women in another vehicle. He intends to poke holes in the state’s evidence against Green, including allegations that the fighter was intoxicated with marijuana and alcohol at the time of the crash. “There isn’t, at this point, any proof that it was his fault, any proof that he was under the influence,” Benjamin told MMA Junkie. “And if those two things can’t be proven, they can charge 1,000 counts, but that doesn’t mean he’s guilty of anything.” A probable cause affidavit for Green’s arrest said a witness at the scene allegedly saw Green get out of his 2011 Dodge Durango and throw a metal object over a concrete barrier.
