Per Schefter's report Hill took part in what
was reportedly "a thorough interview," but NFL Network reports
he's expected to attend training camp beginning on July 26.
The Kansas City Star reported Hill was interviewed from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central time. NFL Senior VP of Special Counsel
for Investigations Lisa Friel and Jennifer Gaffney, who works
with Friel, were present, along with Hill's legal
representation.
Hill is under investigation by the Kansas Department of Children
and Families for possible child abuse, battery or neglect,
involving Hill's 3-year-old son.
Hill's son broke his arm in March, and officers in Overland
Park, Kan., were called to Hill's home twice that month, per
public records.
Hill could be subject to discipline under the NFL's personal
conduct policy, even though there currently is no criminal
investigation surrounding the case at this time.
The Johnson County district attorney announced on April 24 that
he felt a crime had taken place, but insufficient evidence
existed to prove who committed the crime.
KCTV broadcast an audio recording the next day on which a voice,
allegedly Hill's, was heard discussing striking his son with
fiancee, Crystal Espinal.
Espinal asks Hill, "Why did he say Daddy did it? Why did he say
Daddy did it?' A 3-year-old is not going to lie about what
happened to his arm,'' Espinal said on the recording. "He is
terrified of you."
Hill responded, "You need to be terrified of me, too, b----."
The Chiefs immediately announced Hill would be barred from team
activities. The district attorney did not formally re-open the
case, but did tell the Kansas City Star any new information
would be evaluated.
