Former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice has won an appeal of his indefinite suspension from the National Football League. Rice was barred in September following the emergence of a video showing him punching his then-fiancée, now wife, in a casino elevator. The NFL has repeatedly said it did not see the video until it was released publicly and that Rice had misled league executives when he was initially suspended for just two games. But U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones ruled that Rice did not lie or mislead the league. The decision has raised new questions about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s handling of the case. Rice is now free to sign with any team.
