What he did seemed vicious and malicious. BC is doing the right thing and letting a jury decide.

He's right.
What Bertuzzi did wasen't a fight, so quit calling it one. It was cheap shot. The guy may never play hockey again. A fine and suspension justifies costing someone they're lively hood and putting his career on the line? It was a shitty, cheap shot tackle. It wasen't a punch, it wasen't a fight. Call it what it was. It was a malacious attempt to do exactly what was done. He tackled, him drove his face/neck into the ice..
So if you work for a trucking company, and some guy that doesn't like you comes and runs your ass down, and you can't return to work, that guy doesn't deserve to have charges pressed? He should just receive a fine, and a suspension, and then everything is great, right? Be real.
I may not agree with pressing criminal charges, but oh well...
