I vote most likely innocent and hope that folks here gather more facts before routinely becoming judge and jury with minimal facts.
From the original story:
The incident came after Szabo (the deceased who was drunk and banging on car windows)) punched a resident who came outside amid the ruckus, according to The Post, which led Jones to act.
This definitely adds a little to the narrative.
Exactly. Let’s here the whole story.
If Szabo violently punched another resident, then he was a menace and I could not fault the coach for acting in defense of another human. The coach was at fault for allowing a person he injured to lie there without calling the police and EMS, instead just driving away. The previously punched ‘resident’ could have collaborated the coach’s story and even if Szabo later died, the coach probably wouldn’t have been charged with anything...might have been even called a hero for dealing with a dangerous drunk. He ran away so now his legal status is in jeopardy!
