The felony assault charge against former Nebraska interim coach Mickey Joseph was dropped Wednesday after the woman who said she was assaulted by Joseph declined to testify.
Joseph was initially charged with assault by strangulation or suffocation in connection with a November domestic disturbance at his home where he and his wife, Priscilla Joseph, lived. During the preliminary hearing Wednesday, prosecutor Erica Pruess told Lancaster County Judge Laurie Yardley that the woman, whose name has not been made public, emailed her to say she wouldn’t testify.
