From the one-punch killing article:

“In New York, the Senate in June passed a bill that would toughen up state law to empower prosecutors to seek felony manslaughter charges against defendants who killed with a punch. The bill is supported by lawmakers who were upset by the five-month jail sentence served by a 17-year-old who killed a 59-year-old grandfather outside the man’s Bronx home in June 2014.”

“Ildefonso Romero had walked outside his home, tried to defend a teen girl who was being harassed by a gang and suffered a fatal punch in the process, authorities say.”

I researched it for my ZimFB page to counter the narrative that TM was unarmed and posed no real danger to GZ.
A fist can be a deadly weapon and all it can take is one blow.
