Wake Forest Assistant Coach slugs man who dies

there's more to it. I read Szabo had been banging on cars looking for his Uber, and when someone confronted him Szabo punched that guy in the face. Jones then did what many would do. Unfortunately Szabo hit his head on the curb and died.
I can't see a murder charge sticking, but what do I know.
 
Lesser charge perhaps? You can not legally slug someone for banging on your car although I agree many would be motivated in that direction.
 
yeah, he did kill they guy. manslaughter?
the fact that Szabo punched someone first, even though not Jones, has to be a factor.
 
Info on background of Jamill Jones which includes a local connection -
Jamill Jones is in his second season as an assistant coach with the Wake Forest basketball program. He joined the Demon Deacons in May 2017 after serving as an assistant coach at UCF, VCU and Florida Gulf Coast.
 
He was charged with a misdemeanor but it could be upgraded. It sounds like there was some level of instigation, not that he just punched him out of the blue. Sucks all the way around.
 
I haven't punched anyone in the face in quite a long time, but I have to think how lucky/unlucky one can get by what happens as a result of that punch.

He got out of the car and went after the guy to punch him out. Seen on video. Not good for him. Can see a second degree murder charge or manslaughter charge coming.
 
what he did will be punished, but the other guy punched someone in the face first.
