That and assualt. Unless clearly defending yourself if you get in a fight and win (harm the opponent), you up for at least assualt. In this case, the Left tried to use the race of the victors in the fight against them in a witch hunt to jack up charges. It did not work on the jury who did not see the one who lost the fight as an innocent victim in the fight.
Yep, the prosecution went for the drama queen hate crime charge and lost. If they had charged them for killing the guy, they may have been successful.
