"You are not obligated to take the advice of the nearest hysterical woman".

You are obligated not to keep pounding someone until he is dead. That is what Junta did. That is what the multiple witnesses testified. That is what the jury heard. That is what the defense could not dispute. That is what makes it manslaughter. That is why Junta is where he should be.

Well, you made it sound like it was soooooooooooooooooo terrible that he ignored her advice to stop. But you're not the only one; I've heard that claim repeatedly in regard to this case. What is she, an emergency room doctor? Maybe she's a WBF referee and Junta and Costin agreed beforehand to let her referee the fight. She managed an ice rink, for heaven's sake.

I simply disagree with you about what made this manslaughter. I suspect what really made this manslaughter was that the prosecution was careful to pack the jury with, little, politically correct zombies. Wish I had been on it. If I had been, given all I've heard (and I heard much of it), I would never have agreed to a guilty verdict.
