Naughty cyclists in Sussex

If you go around punching people, you should be prepared (and deserve) to go down for assault or possibly even manslaughter.

Of course. But my point was, that there was no intention to kill, hence the manslaughter charge. Seems it was the punch that led to the man’s death. Very sad. But when I said an ‘unlucky punch’, I meant a punch that caused far more harm than was intended. Poor choice of language though I’ll admit.

Fair enough ASWAD.
