To maybe help you a bit on that - Ramiriz, the Hispanic kid killed, was known on the scool campus as a kid who liked to fight and had a group that followed him videoing those fights. Ramirez had alredy challenged Allison and confronted him in a scjhool restroom with 4 of his followers! It was being videod by Ramiriez's buddies, Ramirez took the first swing and was tha attacker. Allison had FIVE opponents there in that bathroom! He pulled out a small knife and defended himself! His sentence may well be overturned as the judge refused to allow the jury to consider self defense! NO blows were struck against Anthony!!! NONE that arose to the possibility of bodily injury or harm! The judge in the Anthony case did tell the jury the 'self defense finding' was available and explained it all to them! The jury found 'Anthony guilty' but his parents and peers should also have been on trial there for they created that world for him!!!!
