From everything I've read about this case, it sounds to me like the victim got what he had begged for for years. I've known a dozen or more guys like the victim, and eventually, their mouth ends up writing a check that their a$$ can't cash. Sounds like Costin decided to rage against a guy who could back it up, and unfortunately, he lost his life. Sad, yes, but a situation of his own making. Of course this is Taxachussets, and Junta will probably be found guilty.

I agree....in the Red Zone...Junta would have a better chance of at least copping to a plea that didn't carry a 20 year stretch.
When I was coming up and there was a fight between grown men and one died and no weapons were used or the winner wasn't a prizefighter or the like, then there weren't even charges brought. I personally never saw one like this but heard of a few. Usually from a broken neck or a ruptured temporal artery and hematoma...or a choke-out.
