Video Shows Ray Rice, Fiancee Kissing In Handcuffs After Punch
By Phil Watson
More surveillance footage has come out from the Atlantic City casino where Ray Rice knocked his then fiancee unconscious. They’re kissing in handcuffs.
You could forgive Ray Rice if he never wants to see himself on video again.
The former NFL running back is prominently featured in new surveillance video from February, obtained by ABC News, that shows his then-fiancee at first not wanting to speak to Rice after she had been knocked unconscious by the former Baltimore Ravens star.
We’ve all seen that video of course, released by TMZ in September, showing Rice punching Janay Palmer in the face while the couple was inside an elevator in the casino.
The newly released footage shows Palmer being protected by security personnel as Rice attempted to get near her.
But then Palmer goes through all sorts of transitions—anger, tears—and by the time she and Rice—both handcuffed—are led into an elevator, she appears to kiss and nuzzle Rice.

Rice and Palmer were both arrested on Feb. 15 and charged with one count of assault each. The charge against Palmer was dropped for what was called insufficient evidence while Rice was charged with a more serious count of aggravated assault.

Rice was suspended for two games after he was admitted into a diversionary program that will allow the charge to be dismissed if he follows the protocols of the program.
After the video was leaked to TMZ, the Ravens released Rice and the NFL indefinitely suspended him.
Rice won his appeal of that suspension late last month.
Rice attempted to go to court to prevent ABC News from obtaining the newly released video, but his attempts to do so were denied.
ABC News obtained the video under a public-records request filed with the New Jersey Gaming Enforcement Division.
