U.S. women’s soccer goalie Hope Solo will again face domestic violence charges after a ruling by the Washington state appeals court overturned a lower court’s decision to dismiss the case.
Solo will appeal the latest development, according to her attorney, Todd Maybrown.
“We are shocked and disappointed by the judge’s ruling this morning,” Maybrown said in a statement. “However, we maintain our position that the charges in this case should have never been filed, that the original trial court’s dismissal of the case was correct, and we plan to file an appeal of today’s decision with the Court of Appeals.”
