Incident became public and the ravens released rice immediately, who then was also suspended by the nfl. Abc News ReporterKaren Travers has the new developments. Reporter just hours after the damning video of ray rice assaulting his wife went public, the Baltimore Ravens terminated him. They had no choice. When that video comes out this morning, its over. Reporter this new video obtained by tmz sports allegedly shows what happened inside that Atlantic City casino elevator between the ravens running back and his then fiancee. Heres rice hitting her, who charges back at him. Then he lands a punch that knocks her out. Tmz says it altered the video to quote, smooth out what it described as jumpy raw video. Since that video came out, questions were swirling about what the nfl and the ravens knew and when. The nfl said today this was the first time officials there saw any video of what happened inside the elevator. But rice himself said this in july. I think Roger Goodell has everything that the court system has. Reporter the aftermath of that punch was already public. This disturbing video showing rice dragging an unconscious palmer out of the elevator. Palmer defended him, so the ravens running back was charged with just third degree aggravated assault. He completes a diversion program, the charge could be dropped. In july, rice said repeatedly his actions were inexcusable. I made the biggest mistake of my life. Reporter the nfl has been under fire for rices meager twogame suspension. In response to the backlash, the league announced a new Domestic Violence policy. First time offenders get a sixgame suspension. A second offense, a lifetime ban. The nfl said today it has suspended ray rice indefinitely. He would have to apply to be reinstated. Karen travers, abc news, washington. The 49ers are dealing with a similar situation after defensive lineman ray mcdonald was arrested on suspension of Domestic Abuse nearly two weeks ago. His fiancee who was ten weeks pregnant at the time, had visible injuries when Police Showed up for a disturbance call at his home. Coach jim harbaugh is on record as saying the 49ers will not tolerate anybody convicted of abusing women or children on his team. He also said the niners are going to wait until the investigation plays out before making a decision on mcdonald. Today, harbaugh did not budge when asked if the ray rice situation will in any way affect the 49ers stance. We have been very clear on how were approaching this situation, with determining facts, what facts will determine and information will determine principles. Mcdonald is set to appear in court one week from today and adding to the situation now is a new report from the Sacramento Bee saying police were called to mcdonalds house another time previously, may 25th, 8 00 p. M. , for a disturbance. Though police did not clarify exactly what that disturbance was. It could be anything from a loud party or making noise or neighbors upset about anything, really. So heres my question. Did the nfl see the video from inside the elevator before that twogame suspension . The league claims that they had no knowledge of this. Of the second video, which makes you wonder how much energy they really put into the investigation to begin with. How could tmz get the video before anybody else . The nfl is a 9 billion a year entity with vast resources. It just stretches the credibility. The nfl has a real serious credibility issue on the way all of this has played out. Seriously. Thank you so much on that. In other news today, two people were hospitalized this morning after an accident involving a cyclist, a taxi van and muni bus.
