Apparently, Uribe paid $25,500. Whether he was involved in the shooting or not is unknown, but it's over and Uribe's name has been cleared.
Antonio Gonzalez Perez claimed that Uribe shot him (in the elbow) and an Italian man on Oct. 13th when the two walked a little too close to Uribe's jeep after an argument.
Uribe has maintained his innocence, claiming that he was falsely accused due to his celebrity status in his native Dominican Republic. He said at different times, messengers were sent to his house demanding more than $900,000.
He never had to sit in jail and missed only the first two days of spring training due to the legal trouble.

Paying a large sum of money like that kinda makes him look guilty. Was there evidence against him?
It's the price celebrities and athletes pay I guess. Remember when that guy tried to sue Michael Jordan because they looked alike?
