Kurt Angle comments on three charges being dropped
Kurt Angle tried to hold back tears after three of the four charges against him were dropped Tuesday morning at a court hearing in Robinson Township, Pa.
The TNA world champion was cleared on charges of violating a protection from abuse order against ex-girlfriend Trenesha Biggers (Rhaka Khan), driving with a suspended license and possession of HGH. Angle still faces an assault charge against Biggers.
“All I can say is I've been completely innocent of any charges that have been brought to me, and God has shown that today and my attorney has been able to prove it in court” Angle told the ABC affiliate in Pittsburgh. “I’ll continue to live my life by the law the way I've always done, and I will always abide by the law and try to be a role model in this community, and that’s all I've ever asked for.
“All I’ve tried to do is just live me life and try to be successful, and basically I got taken advantage of because somebody wanted money.”
Biggers, holding a cell phone to her ear, walked past reporters without commenting.

This may be crazy, but I predict that Angle and Rhaka Khan move back in together.

It seems that somebody was trying 2 fit Kurt up. I know the guy is not perfect but this whole case against him seems like a set up. Innocent till proven guilty.

Kurt is one of those wrestlers that one day you will read in the newspaper died a premature death due to his life style and the manner in which he abused his body.

i don't understand how the drug charges got thrown out.
RESPONSE FROM KE: He was able to provide a legal prescription.

For those wrestling fans who don't see or read the news or who aren't internet geeks like us-Fear not I'm sure the whole thing will be turned into a TNA storyline soon enough.

It's a shame that Kurt Angle had to deal with this sort of situation. It seems as if he's innocent of all the charges brought on to him by Trenesha Biggers and if that's the case, I feel bad for Angle and sad that Biggers would choose to go the route she chose.
When someone tries to help another person as Angle did when he allowed Biggers to move in, and that person is taken advantage of for their generosity, my heart can only go out to the victim which in this case, is Kurt Angle.
