I agree. I have said they pegged him based on his size, when it takes one punch to the throat to dislodge the disc by your adams apple to kill you (had a friend in highschool almost die from it). The verdict was wrong. Too many witnesses said he hit him 3 times. Only ONE of those punches placed in the right place could have done it, and it could have been accidental, not a "beating to death". Now we have a society that will convict based on the size difference of people. Costin could have killed Junta just as easily with one punch. It happens he didn't. Very sad verdict indeed. Junta has been attacked twice now.

Junta is a wife beating bully who beat a man half his size to death over nothing. If a cop had done the same thing you and your fellow travelers would be tying the knot on the rope right now. You can't beat a man to death because he threw a punch at you, whether it connects or not.

As for your three punch comment, it was balogna from the beginning and I'm sure Junta convinced his kid to tell that lie being the piece of crap he is. Adrenaline is not an excuse it is a mitigating factor. When I fought I only remembered the beginning and end as the adrenaline wore off, what went on in the middle was filled in by others. The judge took that into consideration because if he had cold bloodedly beat Costin to death, Junta would have an appointment with the power company.
