Tila Tequila’s Case Gets Dismissed

The San Diego District Attorney has decided not to prosecute Shawne Merriman for beating up Tila Tequila last weekend after she tried to leave his house naked.

The D.A. released a statement saying,

After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. The case is now closed.

Tila is reportedly not happy about the case dismissal. A statement released by her rep read,

Obviously, The San Diego Charger’s NFL franchise brings millions of dollars in revenue to the city of San Diego, and it seems clear that other interests are being served by the DA’s office than the upholding of the law. A young woman was violently beaten and choked, and the physical evidence is both overwhelming and disturbing.

Just because the DA has made this reckless decision doesn’t mean that justice will not be served in this case. No one is above the law. Tila Tequila will immediately begin pursuing civil charges against Mr. Merriman and she will have her day in court.
