Not enough known about the story,,,,did Armstrong deliberately try to harm the child or did he mistakenly go into the wrong bathroom? Some of those convenience marts only have one bathroom.
I do not remember seeing a “family” restroom, and this may have been an older, smaller store. But it is not easy for a sober dude to get into the wrong restroom unless deliberate.
Dead man's problem was attacking the daughter of a guy who cared about his children, not a soyboy.
Coming from CA, and being from the other side of the law, I can see why he hit him. Wonder if the DA decided to make an example of a guy with no defense nor money to fight,
Because young girls never exaggerate or over-dramatize.
