You do understand that his defense is that he was assaulted with a cellphone or some other hard object that they cannot seem to find.
His defense is NOT that he was assaulted with popcorn and NOT that he was forced to defend himself from flying kernels even though they have that evidence.
So they have the popcorn but aren’t using it and instead are searching for some unidentified nonexistent hard object.
Could you explain that.
I will be glad to as soon as they go to trial and he and his lawyers present a defense. So far there has been no defense given only legal sparing at a few hearings.
You do understand that words like "defense" have specific meaning when we are talking about a legal case and you do not get to make up your own meaning.
