sure, what my client did was wrong but you gotta admit when you compare him to me he comes off looking pretty good!

You are actually permitted to use the āabsolute minimum force.ā So if open handed pushing is your first option, hot taking someoneās arm and pulling.
And, as this was a public event and she was a reporter, trespass is a strawman to this argument.

I donāt know if that applies in this case. I was expecting to see a violent assault, but I was also confused as to what had actually occurred.

[quote=āBoundegar, post:10, topic:75814, full:trueā]People who ācanāt seeā the evidence of a crime are often those who would prefer not to see it, just as those of us who see it clearly might be people who loathe Trump and his minions already. What you see, and what I see, are immaterial. All that matters is what the judge sees. Everything else is gossip.

You guys know those strippers arenāt going to bite themselves without a lot of money.

But havenāt we all been in that situation of being a lawyer who just had a sudden need to bite a stripper? Let him who is without sin among us cast the first aspersion.
(looks around)
Is it just me then?
OK, me neither. So far Iāve avoided either being a lawyer or biting strippers.

Yeah, Iām pretty sure āYou are totally delusionalā is a little bit more than an insinuation.
Trumpās campaign manager was arrested for grabbing a reporter, so he hired a lawyer fired for biting a stripper
ā¦ and?

Whatās confusing me is that the assault seems to occur just before the appearance of the rectangle in the lower right, just above and to the left of it.
Okay, hereās a still:
You can see that her left arm is being pulled backwards by Lewandowski. Who, at the time said "You are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.ā when the video does show him touching her.

Briefly grabbing her arm is about the minimal force I can imagine, given their relative positions.
It was an event the public was invited to, but still private property. They do have the right to manage the crowd.
Law is not physics. Legal rules are generally ā not universally ā true. Legal rules are defined by exceptions.

Iām not sure I see your point. This situation appears to be one of those exceptions.
Punch all reporters!

I think thatās probably a mistake.
We donāt have the statute, but, assuming your idea for the sake of argument, the perpetrator is not law enforcement and was policing a candidate for public office from journalists ā not a private residence against trespassers. The touching did occur and was not permitted.
The perpetrator gave a statement that contradicts other witness statements and digital evidence.
Law enforcement reviewed the evidence and determined there was probable cause to make an arrest.
Presumably the detective also consulted with the district attorney before making the final decision.
Did I misstate anything?
