Former Seattle Seahawks player Richard Sherman will not go on trial for driving under the influence. A King County court ordered a deferred prosecution in the case Tuesday. The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said Sherman did not receive preferential treatment—under state law, a defendant has the right to request a deferred prosecution once. “What happened today was that there was a deferment that was ordered by the court,” Casey McNerthney, spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, told KIRO Newsradio. “That means there’s two years of court orders to follow, and if those are followed, then the case doesn’t go through the traditional court process.
