Yes it is the wirey ones. Smaller guys who like to pick issues with bigger guys are called giant killers. It's usually a win/win for the little guy. If he wins fairly he's top dog. If he hits the big guy with a stick then it's ok because the other guy is too big. On the other hand if the big guy wins then he's victimizing a "little guy".

In this instance, I'm not sure but I would opt for involuntary manslaughter at worst.

"Wirey ones" brings to mind Billy Martin. Known for his bar fights, he would attract the bigger arm chair athletes whom attempted to best him. Didn't quiet work out that way for them.

Many times, when a party to the first fight returns it is they who are killed. Junta returned to find Costin maybe to inflick pain, but I doubt death. Be it death was the result. I back for conviction of involuntary manslaughter.

Yes, I have three kids but I do not charge out against others except that pesky kind that gets on my roof at night. One of these nights I'll catch him and scare him but will not harm him.
