'Dog Bites Man' not a headline, but 'Man Bites Dog' yesiree. "If it bleeds it leads", is a newsroom rule-of-thumb. It's always been that way, even back in Shakespeare's day, "Et tu Brute?"

Just don't ask that in the Leon County school system without first checking with their Dept. of Education to make sure that Shakespeare passage is permitted and age-appropriate.

Think about it.

I believe he intended to hit him, hurt him, and embarrass him. I don't believe it even occurred to him that it might kill the man. The punch was intentional, the death was not.

Aren't there different charges for an intentional killing and an accidental one? If so, we'll see what he is charged and convicted of.
Intent does not matter, results matter. His action, not accidental, but intended, resulted in the death of a man. That is manslaughter in every state.

You quote my post and summarize what I wrote yet you seem to believe you are disagreeing with me.

The actions were intentional, the death was not. The charges will be brought by the prosecutor based partly on those facts.

From the news report, it was not ONE punch. And then he denied that he thought the guy was older than him. i guess he also doubted that the man was MUCH shorter than him also. Plus the man's wife was right there to witness the entire rage! Sounds like ro me that the man needed 'help' for his behavior way before that incident. And then it wasn't even his vehicle that was hit~!
