Saw the video the other night, minus the bloody parts of course.
I think it was an intentional act to slow the dead kid down. Read some reports there are numerous NHL players thinking the same thing.
Probably no intent to injure, then again????
I used to skate quite a bit and played some pick up hockey when younger. I've never seen a leg flail around uncontrolled and do that. Skaters tend to know where their feets is.

I said a few posts back about someone dying from a puck to the head.
Watching Hockey last night....a Canuck gets hit in the face with a puck his teamate shot, clearly mangled and hope he is ok, but know he isn't, but shortly after the Canucks defenseman scored with a slap shot that was recorded at 108 mph. I think a fully covered head and neck area are going to be coming, or they are going to be dealing with more than a few teeth missing.
It was a deliberate high side kick. Charged with manslaughter, but looked more like murder to me.

It was murder, and not manslaughter. As I said, an example of manslaughter would be a bully pushing someone, and that person tripping over something, falling, and breaking his neck on impact. What makes that an example of manslaughter and not murder is that, while the physical contact was wrongful, it was not intended to do serious harm. Striking someone in the throat/head area with a sharpened blade cannot fall within that category, thus a murder charge is warranted. Not murder one, though, since that would require preplanning, for example, entering the rink with the intention of striking someone in the neck/head area with his sharpened skate blade, and then carrying it out. There's no evidence for that, so second degree murder would be the appropriate charge, i.e., his intention to do serious bodily harm originated on the spur of the moment.

I agree with Valsdad. I played hockey in high school. The only way that one leg would be that high is if both legs were that high, uncontroledly. His action was intentional!

Exactly. And, since all reasonable people understand the potential serious harm that can result from striking someone in the head/neck area with a sharpened blade, that raises it above the category of manslaughter and into the category of murder.
