Judge Keeps Ex-Jets Linebacker Darron Lee Jailed without Bond on Murder Charge in Girlfriend's Death
- On Wednesday, Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Tori Smith ordered former NFL linebacker Darron Lee held without bond in Chattanooga, where he faces first-degree murder and evidence tampering charges in Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo's death.
- Detectives testified that Lee's claim he said the victim fell in the shower conflicted with extensive blood evidence, including blood in nearly every room, prosecutors say.
- Crime-Scene detectives found blood throughout the house and in the couple's BMW SUV, stab wounds, bite marks, signs the body was dragged, and attempts to clean stains revealed by BlueStar chemical detection system.
- Judge Tori Smith noted prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty, and Wamp said `He qualifies for the death penalty under two different prongs under Tennessee law`.
- With prior assault-related incidents on record, Darron Lee, a former Ohio State linebacker and NFL player, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on March 9.
