Baltimore Ravens star Bam Morris wife files counter claim
Stephanie Morris filed a district court complaint in Maryland claiming April Dawn Brittain assaulted her husband during a party at a Baltimore County hall. Brittain’s lawyer said countercharges are common to gain a tactical advantage as police notes show Brittain with injuries. A separate Texas probation case against Morris for a 1996 drug conviction could be affected by the new allegations.
