One single punch can be devastating ...
And this young punk claiming self-defense? How sad - how pathetic.
Story:
UK -- A 26-year-old man was celebrating a friend's birthday in Newcastle city centre and he and his companions began playfully throwing some takeaway chips at each other as they walked to catch a taxi home.
One of the chips hit a woman walking near the group, and her 19-year-old boyfriend reacted angrily, shouting at them in an accusing way.The 26-year-old walked over saying "sorry, mate" and with his hands outstretched to apologise for the incident.
Seconds later, it is alleged, the aggressor punched him in the face, causing the victim to fall "like a piece of wood" straight back onto a set of railings outside a sandwich shop. Despite paramedics arriving minutes later and taking him to hospital, the Newcastle University student died of massive head injuries.
The jury was told that the 19-year-old assailant, had just six weeks earlier been involved in a similar attack when he punched a man in a taxi queue - breaking his jaw.
The accused denies manslaughter. The court heard he is likely to say he hit out in self-defense.
