He absolutely could not spin it as self defense on a trespasser simply because the guy wasn't certified

Now there is an argument to be made that Barbe bears some of the liability because they hired an unqualified person to supervise minors. At best you're getting 20% comparative fault on that, but if you take it to trial, in front of an LC jury that I'm assuming likes Barbe more than the player, you'd be lucky to get that.

But that would only effect the results of a civil suit and would have no bearing on whatever hearing they have to determine Victorian's expulsion status. This isn't a Court of Law.

He will likely be expelled from Barbe which mean no College nor Major team will touch him.

Also.... let's not pretend that professional orginizations don't look the other way for much worse offenses. He was borderline first round pick territory. Worst case scenario, he'll go play in a Mexican/Domincan/Korean/Australian league for a couple years and then be posted and get picked up by someone in the states.

Sure, Division 1 baseball is likely out of the question, but this won't prevent him from having a shot to make it to the MLB.
