You are still trying to compare the judgement against a murder/civil trial ... if somebody is videotaped stabbing somebody and they goto hospital they will prolly get charged with assault with a weapon ... if they die from those injuries then those charges get upgraded to murder ... there are usually no video cameras when a guy murders somebody so hence a big trial etc etc .... if there was a video then the trial would not be all that long now would it ?
Bertuzzi did this in front of millions of people and his sentence was swift ... if the kid is up and around then good for him
You are upset that what ? ... Bertuzzi may get a longer sentence if the kid did not recover so quickly ? ... is this your whole point ?
Let's get this straight ... when 2 guys scrap on the ice there is intent to injure ... when Bertuzzi mugged this kid from behind with a sucker punch there was intent to injure ... when he pushed the kids face into the ice with all his weight behind it and still tries to get in another couple more sucker punches it shows that he is a coward and deserves to be held responsible if the injuries were more severe.
