But what they were doing was illegal so if it wasn't for the weed it could be argued that the assault would never have happened. The 2 cases are linked to the same incident and you can't pick and choose. That's how my cousins drunk driving/ theft case was dropped, the cops shot first so he could have pressed charges for misconduct but then he would have also been prosecuted for drunk driving and evading arrest.
The best option for those kids is to forget charges since both actions are linked to their original conduct and if they say something it will bite them back.
My ignore list: n/a
It can't be proved that they were using/smoking weed.
There is however clear evidence of assault on the video and if action is taken against him he will face 3 charges of assault which in turn could lead to up to 15 years in prison or in his case the love boat...lol
What a fucking punk..Can't get over the fact that he thinks he is something special and that you tube video of him hitting the bag is kak funny...lol
you cant be sure on that video that what they were smoking was weed. it will be his word against theirs. like Joker said what is evident on the video is the assault and the guy admitted to assaulting them. for these kids to face any charges that guy should have called the cops then and there, but no saw fit to take the law in his own hands. the police cant arrest the guys for "probably" smoking weed.
