At least for now. And let me tell you, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, should count his lucky stars Johnson County judge Thomas Sutherland accepted his no contest plea on a misdemeanor battery charge. Otherwise, the younger Mahomes might have found himself behind bars.
Legally, Jackson is not off the hook yet. He must stay clear of trouble for the next six months to avoid jail time. He faced much more serious allegations connected to this case but was fortunate those charges were dropped earlier this year like a slick football on a cold, rainy day in November.
In legal parlance, a no contest plea means a defendant accepts a court’s conviction without admitting guilt. On Thursday, Jackson did just that via videoconference and was placed on unsupervised probation for six months, according to The Star.
