My buddy Lonny was in the same situation only on the other side of the fence. The guy Lonny fought came at him with a knife, Lonny disarmed him and beat the snot out of him and the guy later died. The Ventura County DA pressed charges against Lonny and it went to court. Lonny was found not guilty, but think about it. This victim (Nye) did not have a knife, nor was he equal in strength/age like with Lonny was with his victim. They drug tested Lonny, but they did not drug test Reddish. Lonny didn't have any prior violent offenses where they know Reddish by testimony had prior violence. Why the heck they would prosecute Lonny and not Reddish seems fishy---I know different counties, but still the same general rules should apply. Reddish didn't mean to beat him to death, or Nye would have never made it away from the scene. It sure seems like they should prosecute him for manslaughter, though.
