Daly, Wife Each Drop Charges

In today's episode of "As the Daly Planet Turns," John Daly and wife Sherrie each agree to drop charges against the other. Those charges were, respectively, knife attack and sexual assault.

From AP:


John Daly and his wife called a truce ... after dueling court claims of drunken rampage, knife wielding and sexual assault.

Daly, a two-time major champion with a history of hard drinking, showed up at a PGA tournament at Memphis on Friday with a face full of scratches and a story about his wife attacking him with a steak knife.

His wife, Sherrie Daly, who went to prison last year in connection with a drug investigation, accused him in a court petition Monday of sexually assaulting her and making up the knife attack to mask his own wrongdoing.

Both asked a Memphis court for protection against the other.

But the hostilities cooled Tuesday after a meeting with their attorneys, said Stevan Black, Daly's lawyer.

"It's not the present intent of either of them to press any criminal charges against the other," Black said.

There is a pending divorce, but Daly and his wife still shared their home on the TPC Southwind course in Memphis where the St. Jude Championship was played last year.

Daly's lawyer, in what seems the understatement of the year, said that no reconciliation was being discussed.

But John left a voice mail for a Sports Illustrated reporter, and later had a discussion with a reporter, in which - while claiming his story of the knife attack was the true one - he said he still loves Sherrie:


"I just want my fans to know one thing -- I am the victim in this," Daly said in a voicemail message left with SI.com's Seth Davis. "I was stabbed Thursday night of last week in my right cheek and clawed in my left cheek. She's saying it didn't happen. I want my fans to know it happened. I was the only one sober at this time. I just want the fans to know that I love them very much and my wife is a liar, a liar. I'm tired of being a victim of all this crap. She beats me up when I go to sleep. Every time I go to sleep she throws her fists on me. I just married the wrong woman."

...

Later, during a telephone conversation Tuesday afternoon, Daly told Davis that he and his wife had agreed to drop all charges against each other. The two of them were meeting with their lawyers in Memphis on Tuesday. "I want this to end," Daly said. "I still love this woman, as crazy as this is. We both still love each other. We don't know where it's going to go from there, but I am going to drop my charges against her. I don't feel that I can do that to her."
