Things are not looking bright for Alvin Kamara and his Cincinnati Bengals cornerback buddy, Chris Lammons, after their Vegas beating incident. And Kamara went ahead and made things exponentially worse for himself. More indicting footage has now come out with one even featuring a boastful confession from Alvin.
The New Orleans Saints running back walked into trouble in front of the Drai strip nightclub hallway elevator in Las Vegas on February 5, 2022. Cameras caught Kamara’s group attacking the victim, Darnell Greene. And the SUV footage from after the incident won’t leave too much doubt before the verdict.

The incident during last year’s Pro Bowl week celebrations stayed under the carpet for an entire year before the Clark County grand jury passed the indictment against Kamara, Lammons, and two other associates. Christopher Young and Percy Harris are the two others involved in the brawl, with the latter being Kamara’s manager.
The hallway camera footage shows the NFL players attacking Greene outside the elevator even after the latter was unconscious from the blows. However, Kamara dug a deeper grave when the foursome discussed the beating in their private limo SUV. Kamara, seated in the rear right, can be heard in the footage with the bragging rights. “I connected with the ******’s jaw so hard,” the RB joked with his accomplices. Fans absolutely despised the behaviour.
Maybe he will play for the @Raiders next season.

One fan hilariously pointed out the limo driver’s facial expressions being privy to the confessional statement.
Kamara’s defense got substantially weaker after this vehicle footage
Darnell Greene has filed a civil lawsuit, claiming $10 million for damages. And looks as though Greene may just win. It was Kamara who stopped Greene from entering the elevator with a hand on his chest. And when Greene shoved Alvin’s hand off, things escalated instantaneously. The Saint shoved him before the Bengals CB knocked him out.
Kamara’s lawyers have released a statement claiming self-defence to be the cause. “He intends to vigorously fight the allegations at trial as he was defending himself and others at the
time of the incident,” the statement said. However, fans don’t think Alvin has a standing chance after the limo video.

Smh in what world did he think by taking this to trial he would win?

“While Greene was on the floor of a narrow hallway, Alvin Kamara continued to strike and/or punch Greene with his right hand. Percy Harris joined his co-defendants by kicking and/or stomping about the head, neck, and upper torso area, after briefly attempting to pull their co-defendants off of Darnell Greene. Christopher Lammons re-engaged by stomping and/or kicking Greene,” the grand jury indictment read, according to 8 News Now.
