2. Man Acquitted Of Killing 18 Month Old Boy With The Undertaker’s “Last Ride Powerbomb”
In case you don’t remember, a man killed a baby last year after he delivered The Undertaker’s “Last Ride Powerbomb” on him.
Although the man didn’t want to hurt the baby and wanted him to land safely on the bed, the man ended up powerbombing the baby on the floor by mistake which resulted in severe head injuries and eventually led to his death.
The child was the son of the man’s girlfriend. That man (Brandon Hoffman, 21 years old) has now been acquitted. Below is what The Associated Post posted:
Chief county public defender William Miele said after the verdict that “no one wins in this.” His client, who has been jailed for more than a year in lieu of $150,000 bond, was released and had no comment.
“Not every horrific act results in criminal charges,” Miele said in his closing argument. “People play with young children and they play physically.”
The boy’s mother, a prosecution witness, testified that Hoffman had always been careful with her son. “Bryson (the kid) loved him,” she said.
Assistant District Attorney Martin Wade, however, called Hoffman’s actions reckless.
“He didn’t mean it to happen — fine,” Wade said. “You can be found guilty of the crime even if you didn’t mean it to happen.”
