D.A.: Not Enough Evidence in Tila Tequila Case

Well, that didn't take long.
Despite her best efforts to tweet a victory in the court of public opinion, looks like Tila Tequila won't get her shot in a court of law at San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman.
"After a thorough review...our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed," San Diego District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis said in a statement today. "This case is now closed. No further comment will be made."
The decision comes just two days after the D.A.'s office got the he-said, she-said case from investigators and about 24 hours after meeting with Tequila.
Last weekend, after a night of partying, Tequila (real name: Tila Nguyen) accused Merriman of hitting her and holding her against her will. The 27-year-old Shot at Love star made a trip to the hospital after the incident, and showed off her bruises to cameras after meeting with her attorney yesterday.
For his part, Merriman, 25, said he was merely being chivalrous by refusing to let an intoxicated Tequila drive her car after a night of partying.
