Have you ever played hockey? How can you say that?
I have seen dozens of videos and even went heels over head on the rink myself from a hip check
Yes I have. Yes, people have had their legs go up in the air on a hit.
I will once again state for all the people quoting this "flailing leg" quote in my post:
I have not watched the video.
I will not watch the video.
I have zero opinion on the matter. I haven't from the start and I will continue to not.
I am literally reading out what the definition of manslaughter is for everyone and what a prosecutor will argue if following through with the charges. Other videos of him doing crazy leg swings on nothing hits and circus wheels on a pretty nothing hit (IMO) is just things that what the prosecutors will use. And just because it hasn't happened before with other players and there are videos of other players having their legs swing in the air on hits isn't necesarily a defense in itself. The entire argument is going to be whether he was reckless beyond a reasonable means with his body. And I'm sure the defendant's attorney will argue that it was a terrible accident on a routine play. That's where the court system can figure the rest out.
Don't understand why several of you keep quoting me and start picking apart my life/character for literally posting a definition of what "manslaughter" is and giving an example outside of hockey. Especially when I've been clear of my lack of opinion/stance on this specific subject.
Guess it's hard to see the forest through the trees at times
