Yeah, you don't expect a dude to snap like that, but racial slurs and spitting would support a provocation defense.

I've been watching some film on this guy. He has one helluva right hook but I also think the tape is misleading. You have to consider the competition he was going against.

Sounds like you are saying name calling and saliva justifies assault.

I just can't recognise that logic.

I'm saying it's a criminal law defense.

Provocation, if proven, can mitigate some, completely, or not at all. It doesn't have to be a complete defense resulting in acquittal.

These are things a jury decides after hearing the gory details of what went down.

so broncos interviewed him.

Scares me to death to be honest.

What he did was despicable. He has gone through the legal system and fulfilled any requirements/obligations stemming from that conviction.

He has more than earned a second shot at redemption IMO.

I think it is excessive. He could have pushed her away and yelled or something.

This is the same to me if not worse that the Ray Rice thing.

Agree 100%

i honestly dont care too much about the incident.

I can forgive, everyone makes mistakes as a young adult. I just dont think he is that great of a player. Scares me more then the incident.

Heres the problem - an incident of that level, is not an incident - it is part of a pattern. That is what concerns me. I think he is probably a really troubled young man, and we have only seen one horrific incident, but i bet there have been many more similar.

There is very little i profess to be an expert on, but domestic violence is one of these things, and the "one off" incident, is the outlier, not the norm. So whilst i acknowledge it is possible that this was a one off, and just a mistake made by a young man - everything from my professional and accademic life tells me otherwise.

I really hope we avoid him in the draft.
