A grand jury reduced charges against Jordan Jefferson to a misdemeanor for his involvement in a bar fight and the LSU quarterback's suspension from the top-ranked Tigers was lifted soon after Wednesday night. Jefferson, who testified before the grand jury, is now charged with simple battery and faces maximum penalties, if convicted, of up to six months in jail and fines up to $500. His attorney, Lewis Unglesby, said his client "will never be convicted" if the case goes to trial. "There's no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to even think about it," Unglesby said. "The grand jury's standard is much lower than a reasonable doubt, so I guess they thought they met that standard by virtue of an accusation. That's a sad thing." Jefferson and reserve linebacker Josh Johns were initially booked with felony second-degree battery in the Aug. 19 fight. The grand jury decided Wednesday there was not enough evidence to bring any charges against Johns.
