Lawyer: Sammi's Miami encounter was a 'non-incident'

A lawyer for a cast member of MTV's "Jersey Shore" said Wednesday that an encounter between his client and another woman at a South Florida nightclub was a "non-incident."

James Leonard Jr., who represents Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, said he spoke with her Tuesday after the woman accused the reality show star of punching her twice in the head Saturday night, The Associated Press reports.

Kristen DeMinco showed reporters a bruise under her eye during a news conference outside Miami Beach police headquarters.

A spokesman for the prosecutor's office said authorities would review the allegations to see if charges are appropriate.

Leonard would not go into detail about what transpired between the women. He said he expects Giancola to be cleared once all the facts are known.
