The "three blows" was Junta's claim. All witnesses present said Junta hit Costin repeatedly after pinning him. His own son and two females present begged him to stop.
The two women -- one a grandmother at the rink with her grandson and another an employee there -- said Junta overpowered Costin, pinned him to the ground and beat him in the head repeatedly....... Junta's 12-year-old son said he saw Costin jump on his father's back, but he also said that Junta was kneeling over Costin at one point and he acknowledged screaming at his father to stop.
Multiple people would not be compelled to yell stop if there were only 3 blows delivered by Junta. Junta should be convicted of the manslaughter he is charged with.
