I was talking about her behavior in the days & weeks prior. According to the article, she bullied him.
I’d love to see her get jail time, but she won’t.
The key part here is the existance of video of the attack.
There was a story in WaPo yesterday (I think) of a DC teacher who was accused by a 7 year old back in 2001 of hitting him and knocking him down. Teacher was fired, arrested and prosecuted (acquittal) and the DC schools sued for $20 million with a $100k settlement.
More recently the kid (now a scholar/athlete at Morehouse) reached out to the former teacher (now a lawyer) and apologized. And they’ve become friends.
No mention of whether the $100k is going to be repaid, with interest. But it did note that the kid drives a BMW paid for out of the settlement.
So these sorts of things can go both ways, at least without video.
