Woods Changed His Strategy in Court
Woods appeared at thecourthearing early Wednesday morning (local time) accompanied by his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump. Following the hearing, the golf star left the courthouse without comment. Woods had changed his legal strategy prior to the hearing. In his previous plea, the 50-year-old had insisted on his innocence. It was not immediately clear from the database of the relevant court in Martin County what change he had planned.
Woods had been charged with driving under the influence and refusing a urine test in connection with the accident in March. According to consistent media reports, he stated during questioning that he had briefly looked at his cell phone and changed the radio station in his car before his SUV struck the trailer of another vehicle and rolled over.
