The first part is from memory, but beginning at #3, I used Dante's testimory to try to reconstruct:Is this wrong? In chrono order:
1. Group of 17 yr old boys yelling at an unfit middle aged guy, laughing and mocking him and calling him a paedophile and "raper" (not rapper)
1a) thanks. Adding
At some point (seen on video), NM makes physical contact with inner tubes of the teen group, touching(?) legs of some of the boys. No words exchanged, the idea is that NM is looking for a cell phone in a plastic pouch.
2. Another group of 6 young adults approach this group of 8 to "check it out"
3. Adult Female is seen in video very close to NM, everyone seems to agree she was yelling expletives and at some point, she has her left hand on his right arm/shoulder, as seen on video.
4. Allegedly (no video) NM strikes female face (MC) with fist, even tho NM would at that point have a knife in his right hand(?) MC still has her beer and cell phone in hand, despite the alleged strike(?)
5. "You don't hit a woman" guy then hits NM multiple times, he falls into water, NM gets up, same guy hits NM again (seen on video). Laughing and cheering ensue.
6. NM begins to stab those surrounding him.
MC apparently didn't want to be on video or recorded so no one can see her testimony.
MC also deleted pic of her face/result of attack from NM, per testimony from PD. She submitted her phone for forensic download but deleted image was never found.
It needs work and I'm stopping because it's late, but maybe a few of us can fill in the blanks from the replays in court during the testimonies.
1a) NM makes physical contact with inner tubes and may have touched a leg/legs of some of the boys, but then he dropped his mask and snorkel. His focus immediately was on retrieval of mask and snorkel and he walked between tubes and some of the boys when looking for it, then returned to where he initially grabbed tubes.
1b) They continued to taunt him and were telling him to leave, he had 10 seconds, etc. He did retreat away and they continued towards him.
2) I think the two girls arrived first; the others came shortly thereafter.
3) Both girls were in NM's face and he was touched by both of them (Ryley talks about a light push she made when the video was shown in court during her testimony and it is also shown here). Ryley also had her phone right up in his face.
4) Totally agree with #4
5) "You don't hit a woman" was Dante C. He did the first punch of NM, knocking him into the water. (Frame 2661)
6) AJ came walking over ~ Dante hit/slapped NM again; next AJ was pushing NM on his shoulders when he was face down in the water. (Frames 2744-2747), then Dante hit him again.
7) Dante's brother (Tony C) came over, telling people to stop. Dante said Tony pushed Nick away at that time (per Dante) and it is about this time that Ryley's injury is observed in the video. Tony then pushes NM on the back shoulder and then put hands on his throat.
