I agree with Petamocto.
I have sat through trials and court martials and beleive me anything and everything gets put under a microscope and reviewed, examined and dissected.
There was plenty of doubt and reason not to proceed with a charge. He would have walked (IMO rightfully so) and it would have wasted the crown's time.
I AGAIN see this as simple, self defence and reacting when the body's sympathetic nervous system kicks in (How people react when they beleive they are in serious danger). Sitting here and second guessing it to death is NOT ON! I have seen numerous situations where people react in a way not expected when in a confrontational situation (not a board room argument but a I am about to get beaten or worse situation).
Enough of the arm chair quarter backing. Go sit in a court house anyday and watch numerous regular people have charges withdrawn (including plenty who shouldn't have them withdrawn). Its life, its our justice system.
Live with it.
