TORONTO (AP) - Gary Payton, Sam Cassell and Jason Caffey were cleared of assaulting a male exotic dancer and his stripper fiance during a confrontation outside a downtown Toronto strip club in 2003.
Justice William Bassel ruled Monday that although Payton likely sparked a dispute with foul language and taunts, he is "not on trial for his vulgar ... and offensive conduct."
The 39-year-old Payton, now with the Miami Heat, was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks with Cassell and Caffey at the time of the alleged assault.
