When former Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy was found guilty by judge Rebecca Tin in July 2014, the first explanation she mentioned in her ruling was the evidence filed by the prosecution. That evidence included photos of Nicole Holder after Hardy allegedly threatened her life and left her bruised and battered.

Those photos remained sealed until the NFL reached an agreement with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s office to look at seven of those photos. But now, everyone can see what happened.

Deadspin on Friday posted a bombshell piece that included 48 pictures of both Holder and Hardy. The gallery of photos comes with a warning about their graphic nature, so the decision to click is up to you. 

There is still a sizable segment of the Panthers fanbase that supports Hardy and believes nothing happened that night. Perhaps this will now help them realize that this wasn't just about money.
