Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kerry Glen said that Reyes’s wife is “an uncooperative witness,” and refuses to return to Maui for the trial. She had injuries to her leg and scratches on her neck, according to a hotel security guard’s 911 call, but will not talk to prosecutors. “At this point, I have no other avenue for prosecution,” Glen said.
Major League Baseball had suspended Reyes with pay, pending the outcome of the case or a league investigation of the four-time All-Star. He was not allowed to join the Rockies for Spring Training, and his trial had been scheduled for the same day as Colorado’s season opener, April 4. Since the criminal case went nowhere, it remains to be seen what steps the league will take to determine any further discipline against Reyes.
