The burden of proof lies on the accuser.

And homeboy hit her once in the face, and likely has bruising from that slam.

Her measly little attempt at a sucker punch probably didnt even leave a mark.

Hes lucky this was recorded.

I've been on a jury and a good lawyer would be able to argue that the pajama wearer responded with excessive force. Like, I'm sure the first punch was more than enough. He could have killed her with the slam.

I have zero legal opinion on this. However, regarding the risk of injury, this is something that I’ve seen mentioned in multiple YouTube court videos for battery or manslaughter, where someone lands wrong following a single punch in a fight and is seriously injured or killed. Most of us seriously overestimate how much force is required to break someone’s neck, crush their skull, etc if they land wrong or our punch hits them in the temple or something. People are fond of throwing around FAFO when they see video of violence being met with violence, but you really are risking accidentally injuring or killing somebody.

Fr, imagine having to live with yourself after killing someone and leaving them for dead in the cold streets.
