SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Former NFL player Corwin
Brown is scheduled to face a judge on charges he struck his wife and held her
against her will in their northern Indiana home, leading to a seven-hour
standoff with police.
Brown's initial court hearing is set for Wednesday
morning in South Bend on charges of confinement and domestic battery.
Defense attorney Mike Tuszynski asked for a delay
of the hearing in September, telling a judge that the former Notre Dame
defensive coordinator was undergoing psychological testing. Chief Deputy
Prosecutor Ken Cotter said Brown's wife requested the testing.
Brown's family has said they believe he may suffer
from the same type of brain trauma as Dave Duerson, the former Chicago Bears
star who committed suicide in February.
