A friend of mine was king hit four years ago and died as a result. Prosecution failed and the jury couldn't bring themselves to convict, despite there being strong evidence that my friend did not commit any act of aggression, and none to suggest anything other than a single blow by the perpetrator.
I recall lots of fights from my youth, I don't recall a single death though.
Yes, perhaps its the media "sensationalizing" this issue - I find it hard to understand how something like this getting media attention is a bad thing.
