Seems accurate. He was convicted of drug crimes, not assault.

People are real quick to forget about innocent until proven guilty for some reason.

    There's also a difference of being guilty of doing something but never having charges brought against you. Many times in domestic violence cases we see the victim not press charges. It doesn't mean the victim was not the recipient of violence.

      Whatever speculations you want to make, the person was not convicted of assault.

      It's not the place of random hacker news commenters to try to and hold assault against him because you think, after reading 2 minutes about the case, that he should have been convicted.

        I never said anything about this specific case. Everything I said was generic differences between actually doing something and not having charges brought vs given the presumption of innocence while defense against charges.
