Rugby manslaughter verdict
An 18 year old has just been convicted of manslaughter after pile driving a player head first into the ground during a skirmish that happened away from the play during a High school match. Manny Castillo was just 15 years old & the accused was 16 at the time of the incident. The Castillo family did not want charges brought against this young man & I'd bet Manny would be in agreement. Will this verdict change anything that happens on the field - No! Contact sports are violent by their very nature ; emotions run high & things happen in a split second that can have life changing repercussions. Take the risks seriously cause they are & will be there forever unless as a society we say enough is enough.
