how do they know he touched her?
Quote:You can have beef with the firing of the gun. I think we all do. I'm not sure how anyone can suggest that this man was acting "reasonably" when he started pummeling the man for escorting him out of this room. I guess that's why Skidmore was charged with assault and the guard wasn't.[/quote]
There was zero indication the guard was 'escorting' him out. Nobody asks him to leave or threatens to remove him. The guard attempts to steal the guys camera. That's it. And Skidmore can reasonably assume the guard was going to use the lanyard as a weapon to choke him out and/or drag him out like a dog on a leash. Being charged is a far cry from being convicted.
