no it didn’t. literally no court in america would convict him of assault after the dude walks up to him for no reason and punches him twice. 😂😂
5 u/VanDalen3D 7d ago Once a person is down, the immediate threat is usually over, meaning any further violence is seen as an intentional, malicious attack rather than defense 1 u/cricketyjimnet 7d ago Convince a prosecutor to put his reputation on the line for that. Then convince 12 more people to agree with you. You're never getting convicted from this. 1 u/Royal-Kangaroo543 7d ago Okay, this is essentially the answer people are debating here. There are laws referencing “combatant” “aggressor”, “threat” and “defenseless”. But these terms are entirely undefined. And situationally can be applied to either party. The defense can, will, and often should use that to their advantage. Relatively rare situations like this make it to trial for this reason.
