Ray Rice arrives with his wife Janay Palmer for an appeal hearing of his indefinite suspension from the NFL, in this Nov. 5, 2014, file photo taken in New York. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. A video released Friday shows Ray Rice’s then-fiancee crying and kissing him while they are both handcuffed and being taken to jail by police officers after Rice punched her in a casino elevator.
The video was obtained by ABC News through a public records request filed with the New Jersey Gaming Enforcement Division. Rice’s attorney fought to keep the video from being released but lost.
The video shows Janay Palmer– now married to the former Baltimore Ravens running back — crying and being comforted by officers or security officials at the Revel casino early on the morning of Feb. 15.
An officer walked a handcuffed Rice toward an elevator, pulling Rice’s sweatshirt hood over his head. Palmer, also handcuffed, appeared to be crying as another officer led her behind Rice.
Both of them were placed in an elevator with several officers. Rice and Palmer moved their heads together as if they were talking. Palmer leaned in and appeared to kiss Rice before they were escorted out of the elevator.
