This is obviously speculation, but the reason there were no charges in the previous shooting was that the guy who was shot refused to cooperate with the police.
When the victim wont say anything and there's no other evidence, not much the police can do, and not much of a story for the media to cover. Think of it from the chair who makes that decision at ESPN, you are gonna drop an attempted manslaughter allegation against a pro athlete with evidence that shaky? They need more to go on that that
Sounds like the bullet ricocheted off his arm and into his eye- dude wasn't willing to finger hernandez or talk to the cops, but still wanted compensation for losing his eye. And when it wasn't forthcoming, he filed the suit and would forget about it for some kind of settlement. AH and the guy he shot in Feb left a club in Miami in the same car, total guess but I'd say AH was threatening him in some way, pulled out a gun to prove his point, not only goes off accidentally but ends up hitting him in his eye, which AH never intended. The dude won't finger AH to the cops, that never happens, but still feels aggrieved. Hence no police investigation, but still a lawsuit
