Sometimes, you are allowed to hit a woman, per the Grand Jury
"This was clearly a legally and morally unjustified attack on my clients," said Harold Baker, an attorney for the women in denouncing the grand jury decision. "Inappropriate behavior in the United States of America is not supposed to be met with deadly force."Wait what? She slapped him in the face, and was coming at him over the counter and her friend was walking around to join her.....Wow, if the employee get's charged/loses the case, that is just going to be sad....

What recourse is there if the Grand Jury doesn't indict?

I know, but still...the woman slapped him then charged him, what the hell did she think he was going to do?

None, I think, Pwntiff. If they didn't indict, it means that they considered it justified self defense, or else they considered it a case where there wasn't enough evidence to warrant a trial. If I believe correctly (and I'm not 100% sure), unless some striking new piece of evidence comes out, they can't bring it back before the Grand Jury. Otherwise, cops could bring the case up again every time a new Grand Jury is appointed, until they got the result they wanted. It's similar to the double jeopardy thing.
@ Adams- the Grand Jury chose not to indict him, so he's not going to trial for it. The two women are still facing pending charges for attacking him, however. The women could still attempt a civil suit, but if the Grand Jury failed to indict him, and the women are found guilty of attacking him, it will be hard for them to make a case that he is legally responsible.

Also, it really annoys me that the news article has to say that he "Allegedly" swung a metal pole at them. Is that really necessary? The video is pretty damn conclusive ...
He was...swatting at a fly?
I've always hated the "allegedly" in most legal situations.

The allegedly is to cover them from being the target in a lawsuit. It's always the journalistic approach to err on the side of caution, and make sure that they always uses allegedly for anyone who hasn't been found guilty yet. It's a libel thing.

good god, slasher flicks have become so predictable, they just aint scary anymore, they just copy each other so badly it ends up being a copy of a copy of a copy.
So.... now that I've seen the slasher parody "Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon" I gotta say I feel somewhat hopeful for the slasher genre.
:P brilliant parody that manages to give a bit of suspense, and more.
Genius.

Yes. They overstepped their boundaries as customers. Does that give the employee the right to grab a metal pole and beat them REPEATEDLY? No. He should lose his job. There were ways to diffuse that situation without doing what he did.

Don't you know? Using the word "allegedly" is an attention grabber in journalismology (lol fake word).
