Negligent homicide after a sucker punch still seems pretty fucking bad. Lol 

To clarify, it wasn’t a sucker punch in its purest form. The two had been messaging each other for a week or so challenging each other to a fight. The punch wasn’t from behind when he wasn’t looking. Just two guys jawing back and forth and the victim just off and clocked him when no one was expecting it.

Not familiar with this.  What was the time delay between the sucker punch and the stabbing? Negligent homicide seems like an odd outcome for a stabbing (not sure of Texas specific statute nuances).  Compromise verdict or did it seem to fit the facts?

I think it’s definitely an odd outcome. It was a pretty immediate reaction with the stab. However, video appeared to show that when the defendant fell to the ground, he had the knife out and ready really quick, like maybe already opened in his pocket.

ETA: I think it might have been a compromise verdict of some sort.

I've seen this debated, for no good reason, but I agree with this.  That's not what I would call a sucker punch.  A sucker punch is someone coming up from behind or the side and you never see it coming.  If you're facing someone, and especially if you are in a verbal altercation with them, you need to be aware and in possible fight mode, which means protect yourself at all times.

Apparently, the new was no self defense instruction allowed for the negligent homicide charge, which is the likely explanation for that guilty verdict, with NG on the other two options.

I just didn't know if that was what the hell is keeping this thread going - there's nothing going on here. For a little bit it was a bunch of racial undertones and stupid shit and there was things happening like this kid's dad trying to combat white supremacists. 

I have tried to inject comedy here several times and get this onto a unique non ragebait stupid thread several times. I'm really leaning towards just deleting it. 

OK, Mrs. Agnor
