Jackson Willing to Testify Against Pearce in Domestic Case

Former Lady Vols basketball star Rickea Jackson is willing to testify against NFL player James Pearce Jr. in his domestic violence case, according to court documents filed in Miami-Dade County.

Jackson's attorneys filed a notice stating she remains cooperative and willing to testify at trial if necessary. The notice also requests the court to allocate all possible resources to conclude the case promptly and bring justice to her and the people of Florida.

Pearce, 22, was arrested Feb. 7 in Doral, Florida, after fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute involving Jackson. He faces multiple felony charges including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking, fleeing police, and aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer. Pearce posted $20,500 bond and was ordered to stay away from Jackson.
