So the attorney and mixon both admit that he hit her. Girl apparently is currently in surgery. There is absolutely no way to justify his actions. He got mad - overreacted - and broke a young girl's face.
The attorney is asking for charges against her, because it has to be part of his defense. Apparently there is both video and witnesses showing him hit her. The ONLY thing he can claim is self defense. Great luck getting a jury to buy that a 220lb athlete was scared of death or great bodily injury from chick slap. Horseshit!
Should she be charged for slapping him? Probably so. Misdemeanor A&B. I'm fine with that. However if he broke bones in her face, that is a felony. It does not matter (as redalert who's been wrong about basically every legal statement thus far said) if he hit multiple times, etc... If he hit her and she has fractures or broken bones - it is Felony A&B. Punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Where in the posted statutes did it say he had to be "afraid of death" or "great" bodily injury?
Of course it doesn't.
He reacted to a physical attack to prevent any bodily harm.
She could have poked him in the eye with one of her finger nails, a ring, or bracelet. He could have suffered permanent damage to his vision.
