That jury might also find that McCleary bears some responsibility too and limit what he recovers.

I better stay out of this beyond that.

If all it is is "McReary says Malik punched me, Malik says he did not" then most jurors are going to believe the guy without a felony conviction. Did this clown get a test that showed Malik's DNA buried in his eye socket? I think not.
