Raiders coach Cable is cleared
FROM NEWS SERVICES

Raiders coach Tom Cable won't face charges after being investigated over allegations that he assaulted one of his assistants, ending a two-month saga that was a cloud over the team's season. Napa (Calif.) County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said Thursday that the investigation concluded no charges were warranted.

The alleged attack occurred at the team's training camp hotel on Aug. 5 in Napa, after Cable called Randy Hanson into a meeting. Hanson told Yahoo! Sports recently that Cable came up from behind him and knocked him out of his chair. Hanson said he broke his jaw and cracked two teeth after hitting a table. Lieberstein said there was not enough evidence for a jury to convict Cable of any offenses beyond a reasonable doubt.
