You’re glossing over a lot of the facts. Delee went to a bar, with friends. He and his friends got into an argument with Pouliot and his friends. Someone sucker punched Delee, and he reacted pretty much how anyone would react to being sucker punched. They were then all thrown out. He challenged his attackers to try it again outside, where Pouliot sucker punched him again, this time with some item in his hand that lacerated Delee’s left temple (rings, brass knuckles, etc), while both of Pouliot’s friends flanked him on both sides. Delee was cornered on three sides. Delee was assaulted twice, at least once with a deadly weapon. I’m not defending Delee so much as filling in context. Its not exactly black and white. It was a shitty situation and no one is innocent here. They both fucked around and both found out. Its a shame that two idiots barely old enough to drink have thrown their lives away.

Outside, in the video, he is surrounded on three sides, then gets suckered again. On video. The sucker punch was enough to lacerate his temple, so Pouliot must have been wearing rings, or potentially brass knuckles, which now covers assault with a deadly weapon. No one is innocent in this case, but it’s preposterous to rule without hearing all the facts from both sides, that Delee could not have had any reasonable suspicion that his life was in danger.

The judge doesn’t decide the case. The jury does. Jurisprudence 101. Burden is on a jury to unanimously agree beyond any reasonable doubt that he’s guilty. I’d also move for a change of venue if I’m the defense if a judge is willing to already show bias without hearing all the facts from both sides. His bias is tainting the jury. Delee has no criminal record, and is not a flight risk.
