Daniel Rodimer Pleads Not Guilty To Murder Charges

WWE developmental talent Daniel Rodimer has been charged with murder and turned himself in back in March. Rodimer’s trial began yesterday and PWinsider reports that Rodimer has pleaded not guilty.

Rodimer is accused of attacking a man named Christopher Tapp on October 29, after Tapp allegedly offered Rodimer’s stepdaughter cocaine in a Las Vegas hotel room. Tapp’s death was believed to be ‘apparent overdose’ and a ‘fall’, but his autopsy showed blunt force trauma to the head and recent cocaine use. He died at Sunrise Hospital on November 5.

Rodimer’s attorney David Chesnoff said the former Tough Enough contestant “vigorously denies any responsibility for the allegations.”
