This is the guy who stole a 52 cent doughnut from a store and is now going to be tried for a felony assault because a woman from the store grabbed him outside the store and he ran away. She is claiming that he pushed her.
The guy has a string on convictions with no violent acts recorded.
Looks like the only witness to the alleged attack is a woman who chased a guy down in her car for a 52 cent doughnut, which I think is excessive. She claims the guy hit her before running away.
In my experience in marital arts people generally pull away from a grab, they do not generally move into a grab unless trained and if this guy had been trained he probably would have had more violent convictions.
So what do you think, toss a guy in prison to spend 30 years for stealing 52 cents worth of bread?

I would hope that a jury would be able to weigh the evidence and find him not guilty. 30 years for an assault that is not even using a weapon would be excessive anyway.

From my point..before taking him up for that charge, all the politicians should be tried first..
..All of them made promises, which never were kept.
He shouldn't be..
They ought to be ..
