Hope Solo. goalkeeper for the U.S. women's national soccer team, was facing two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault and could have been sentenced up to six months in jail if found guilty.
Solo's attorney claimed during the hearing that Solo wouldn't receive a fair trial based on her accusers, and this led to the dismissal of the charges.
