His go fund me account is already past $30,000. Might buy a pretty decent lawyer.
Yup...good start....it will probably cover any original “legal” Which will be absolutely critical because if he is found at fault in any way it makes the follow on civil suit so much easier for the plaintiff....
And if this goes the civil route later....( and I am betting it will) with the ballplayer claiming everything from loss of possible future income as a pro to eyesight loss and disability....emotional issues...the works.
I doubt 30k or more would cover. Standard billed legal fees are over $225 an hour And that’s for
one lawyer and doesn’t cover the investigative costs, background information checks additional administrative fees etc. etc.
Plus if you have the personal injury lawyers smelling a win they will go low fee pro bono for the plantiff. So in no way is it an arms race concerning money between the two parties.
No gentlemen, make no mistake, the MMA kid is in a serious pinch over this. His only hope (in my opinion) is that the original judge or magistrate rules that he was in no way at fault. And or...the kid has virtually NOTHING that a civil suit could go after.
I watched the video three times. The kid could’ve walked away. Yes he was pushed. The key will be if the judge thinks he was “assaulted” by the push (and words) but even then....because the other party was seriously injured and appeared totally overmatched it is hard to argue that the kid felt ”threatened.”
Watch the MMA kids face, he is grinning. He knows the outcome ahead of time and is deciding what to do.
Bad decision.
Hey, just my opinion. But I did link this video to a very good friend of mine who used to be a Disrict Attorney for a fairly large city. Most of the things I am writing is his opinion with the caveat he doesn’t have any facts on the case...just a couple looks at that video.
Just beyond stupid....by both kids...incredibly stupid!
