[P-Marlowe]

But the ability of a switch to raise a welt is what makes me think Peterson didn’t have any abusive intent in mind.

According to what I read yesterday, this kid was not merely swatted with a stick, he was beaten to a pulp. He had bloody welts all over his body and face.

If that is accurate, then it IS a felony. And he should do hard time for it.

Apparently this was done in anger by a guy who could kill you with one punch.

You can look through this thread and see the pics yourself. There are about 10 switch marks on his legs.

There are no pics of face strikes, and your saying it is the first time I’ve heard it. My guess is those pics would also have been released.

Here’s the link to the pics.
