It's difficult to buy that from someone who runs to rehab before his case gets to court. No that doesn't look at all like it was planned or manipulative. No, not at all. Nor can I imagine that he scripted his conversations while in rehab. No, that's just not possible. They were such good kids. Anyone buying the "he started it" line? Not me. Oh and just so you know, if you agree to fight and someone dies; it's still manslaughter. Agreeing to fight does not remove the responsibilities of your actions. If they had stepped into a ring and had oversight, then they can argue it was an accident. Beyond that, if they had agreed to fight, then why did they run?

And the victim actually instigated all this. He was struck knocked out before he hit the ground due to a lucky punch and died of his injuries related to his head striking the ground. This was a terrible accident that ruined many lives and is in no way a murder. I was actually in rehab with matt yanke and I have to tell you he never through a punch or even hit the kid.
