Well if you hit someone you have the chance to kill them. One kid was charged with murder up here because of a normal school yard fight. Hit to the head, the other kid just falls over dead. Nothing out of the ordinary same as any two punks dueling on the playground over a girl just one guy didn't walk out. Pretty crappy but fluke incident that left two kids lives ruined! The law is the law and it does not care that fate/fortune had a twist to change something that would be normally assault to murder. A judge however may decide to be lenient on the punishment if he so decides.
