Many of you have seen uh hockey player Adam Johnson lost his life in probably one of the more freak or bizarre incidents we've seen in a hockey game in a very long time if not ever right so what I'd like to do is look through this video again and and let you know what my thoughts are as a criminal defense attorney and what if any criminal liability the other individual the other player could receive in light of the loss of life here so the first thing I notice is obviously Johnson has the puck at the time he's hit it looks like the other individual Matt Petgrave is is making a move to get around another skater right and it makes this unorthodox movement with his leg where his left leg sort of kicks up right and here's here's where it gets interesting because when you're looking at this video what if anything he could be charged with in the UK and in London and England is's a whole other issue here right what he could be charged with in California if this did happen in California well it could be assault with a deadly weapon if there was some intention to use the deadly weapon in this case the very sharp skate blade right heard a lot of people say it was murder it's not murder right it's not murder no matter what country no matter what state you look at right unless there were some underlying beef here and there was the actual intent to kill okay but what I think really falls into gray area is If This Were to have happened in California how out of the ordinary was that movement how Reckless was that movement outside the game where this individual could possibly be charged with a variation of manslaughter right that could set a really really interesting precedent in sports right this is a different situation quite frankly after hearing the the press and the publicity that I heard about this thing I was expecting to see this video where someone basically got stomped out or really kicked on the throat as they're on the ground certainly not that case here but what's most interesting is what prompted that left leg of Petgrave to get up that high in the Thro area to begin with what was the intent what was the purpose you know I have not played hockey at a high level but I've watched enough of it as a lot of us have and I've never seen a real need right for someone's skate to come up that high whether it was accidental whether it was intentional who knows uh but criminal liability I don't necessarily see it but but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if something is filed certainly the case being investigated because what we know is an individual lost his life this guy was 29 years old playing his sport he loved and he lost his life so a tragedy all around I'm not sure to lead to criminal charges uh certainly if we if we're the game was played here in California how it's going to be dealt with in the UK to be determined just want to share my thoughts on it as a San Diego based criminal defense lawyer the tragic loss of um Adam Johnson and what criminal liability of any of the other party could have.
