No charges for USC's Wright

Prosecutors rejected formally filing charges against Southern Cal cornerback Eric Wright just before he was to be arraigned today for sexual assault. He was arrested March 26 by police on campus and released on $100,000 bond. Trojans' head coach Pete Carroll suspended Wright from the team following the arrest.

Jane Robison of the District Attorney's office made comments to the media:

We rejected filing sexual assault charges against Eric Wright because of insufficient evidence. We also were presented a case that he possessed the drug Ecstasy, but we could not move forward on that case, either, because a witness did not want to testify.
