Must not have been too serious if he was released from the hospital in just two days.
What? I’ve seen people have major operations and be released before that. Did you not read the whole story that describe his injuries? I’d call it pretty serious, they said that the doctors feared his death, how much more serious can you get?
His medical report outlines the extent of his injuries: “multiple trauma, right subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain), compression fractures of four vertebrae (T3, T4, T5 and T10), right scapula fracture and fracture of the fourth and fifth ribs.”
A subarachnoid hemorrhage can be fatal. A complete examination of the medical record is needed.
Agitated, the man replied: “I did not assault him, I just pushed him,” with an aggressiveness that made Mr. McTernan fearful for his own safety.
If that is true, then it is an admission of guilt in assault and battery, IMHO.
Back in 1991 I was in an automobile accident and suffered a severe concussion, bruised heart, banged up hand and knee. I was released after one day. I STILL suffer from the effects of that accident.
No need to prosecute.
“Must not have been too serious if he was released from the hospital in just two days.”
Stupid comment? Perhaps you would like to volunteer for similar injuries? And what does Daniel’s 70 weeks have to do with this?

The brain is a funny thing.
My son was admitted with traumatic head injury and underwent hours of delicate brain surgery.
The doctors marveled that he was not killed instantly from his injury.
They released him to go home within 3 days.
