I'd say more than likely.
A COMPLETE ACCIDENT?????? He got out of his car and punched him in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???? Were there no witnesses to this? Why was this a plea margin? Outrageous!!!!!!

He’s one of Barry’s kids... guess.
A friend of mines brother was eating at a wedding reception, minding his own business. Behind him two drunks got into an argument; the music was so loud no one heard them at first. One of these fools threw a wild roundhouse punch that connected with the back of Eric’s head. Eric went face down in his food and never moved again. It was prosecuted as negligent homicide IIRC
Another “youth” through the school-to-prison pipeline.
Quelle Surprise.
And this why I tell people is your right and responsibility to defend your life when confrontef by an aggressor, including using Zimmerman tactics if you fear your life and health are in peril.
It’s nice for the “turn the other cheek” crowd to implore one to be the “better or greater man” /s.....idiots and insanity.
There are three outcomes from a fight:
At best losing face for a small beating that will heal in a weak but, is still an injury which needn’t occurr but for some aggressive A-hole.

Your death
You have an absolute right to your life and defending yourself from any injury as any assault can devastate your health and quality of life.
Hmmm. Sounds like the kind of son Obama would have if he had a son.
Well, we know it wasn’t a racial issue. Blacks can never be racists. Ask REVERAND Jeremiah Jones or Calypso Louie.
Honestly he wasn’t trying to kill him. It’s a travesty the kid died.
Thugs that even “play” the knockout “game” should lose their lives.
It might cut down on the feral insanity.
Smithers apologized for what he called a “complete accident.”
Smithers was accused of jumping out of a car on Sept. 20, 2012, and punching Colton Gleason once in the face.
How the hell is jumping out of a car and punching a man in the face a ‘complete accident’?
war on whites
I don’t know how much of the ten years the dude will serve, but if it’s a substantial amount, I’m OK with this. It’s a homicide rap, he’s going to prison. Maybe it ought to be longer, but it’s no slap on the wrist either.
Several years ago a dear one of mine was held and battered for hours and almost killed. It actually was attempted murder but they charged him with aggravated battery. When I asked the prosecutor he said that the amount of time would be about the same. Sad but at least he was sentenced to 10 although he’ll probably get out in 6-7.
The headline makes it sound like an outrage..like it was a fight among college kids and one of them just happened to die. Really covers up the real crime.
Out in five years after murdering someone. I’ll bet he is a hero in the ‘hood.
Shades of Tray...exactly what he tried on Zimmerman.
