Originally posted by Dave Rado View PostSee on what constitutes assault under Californian law:
In California assault is defined as; the unlawful attempt, coupled with the present ability, to inflict bodily harm on the person of another. In layman's terms this means that if you physically touch someone in a way that is against their wishes and causes them harm you have committed assault. I know from my law school experience that even an apparently "attempted" assault can count as a regular assault. For example, suppose someone takes a swing at you but misses ... that would still be considered an assault because the intent was to achieve contact (regardless of whether they were successful or not).
In addition, conspiracy to commit a crime is also a crime under Californian law.
I think there is a big diffrence between swinging and missing and having tampered gloves on 60 min before you step into the ring.
Conspiracy is usally used for major felony cases like murder but I have never heard of anyone getting charged for conspiracy to assault. While Tonys actions were cowardly and ****** I don't think they were unlawful in the eyes of the courts.

Murderers should go to jail, and fighters and trainers who conspire to use plaster in their gloves should be banned from boxing for life and should go to jail.
Cotto might salvage some pride by fighting a banned boxer, but that's just the law of the jungle and it would be terrible for the integrity of boxing if he did that.
He's right to call for a ban.

Originally posted by elwills View PostWhat is your point? I've already said that it's logical to believe that Marg used plaster treated pads against Cotto. It just can't be proven for a fact by any investigation cause the fight is over and done. Cotto's corner failed to catch any wrongdoing when they were supposed to. Any investigation at this point will prove nothing, so I'm saying they should do it in the ring.

in the deposition after the fight margarito's trainer said that he uses the same wraps every time, and he's used them in his other fights well looky here. Above are the wraps margarito used taken as evidence, see the blood stain on lower left corner?
Now here are pics of him in his victory over cotto: [IMG]//i18.***********.com/albums/b101/theheresy/medium_1margarito29.jpg[/IMG]

see the same blood stain there on that wrap? That's proof that the same wraps he used in mosley's fight (correction: ATTEMPTED to use LOL) were the ones he used in the cotto fight. Thus he used plaster against cotto as well...case closed /thread
