Adam Johnson: Arrest over ice hockey player's death
www.bbc.co.uk
A man is held in connection with the death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson.

Wasn’t sure if this was appropriate for the community, so if it needs to come down then okay.

As for the news itself. I’ve still not seen the video, but holy crap.

    This should go nowhere, as experts will be able to prove that the player missed his first check, went off-balance and - when he tried to stay upright - accidentally cut Adam’s neck.

    The only thing driving charges are the anti-intellectualists who can’t be bothered to find the video and go through it frame by frame … so facts get drown out by stupidity and conspiracy BS.

      Either that, or he hits a divot in the ice, which…different path to the same outcome (i.e., I’m not disagreeing). It will be interesting to see where this investigation goes. I can’t corroborate it personally, but I believe I saw that Petgrave had been kicked out of a league for unsporting behaviour prior to this (e.g., because of dirty hits, etc.).
