but the witnesses didn’t mention it

The family is repeating what they were told

Schnyder and her mother, Sonya, Jackson's ex-wife, said that according to conversations with a detective on the case and friends in the area at the time of the beating, Jackson was attacked when he tried to stop Ward from hitting a woman.

Ed Osteen, Do you and LSUpride87 have a different version of the story that yall would like to share with the class? If so, I would be just as interested to hear it.

What have Ward's friends and family say that happened that night?

So the NOPD is willing to give info to the media that the witnessess viewed Ward kicking Jackson in the head, but they wouldnt release that Ward was also beating a woman?

---

It's plausible that something like a physical argument with a woman prior to the fight would be excluded from the arrest warrant. Whether he was arguing/fighting with a woman before the altercation with the victim isn't necessarily germane to the second degree battery warrant. It's also possible the story was relayed after the original arrest warrant.

I think we should be skeptical, but there are reasonable reasons this wouldn't be released at this point.

Doesnt pass by smell test

Actually, that would not be unusual at all. NOPD is providing the media the basic information that lead to the charge, they will not disclose all the other information.

If this is true, ole baw is fricked and totally changes my opinion on a favorable outcome for him. Homie don’t play that. You hit a woman, you are a certified 100% POS trash.

Call me crazy, but I thought worse of him when I first thought he kicked a man to death, than simply hitting a woman

I just think it’s unresponsible for the advocate to print something like that only based on his family members parents words.

Well........

physical argument with a woman

This is the new way to communicate hit a woman?

Yes. "Reacting negatively" is the new euphemism for murder too.

Try to keep up.

Is perp kicking people in the head at OPP, yet?

On a serious note, I could see something like grabbing her arm while arguing be misconstrued as hitting a woman by the time the story is told a few times. He also could have outright hit a woman. It all could be fabricated too. We'll see.
