## Resource

A 21-year-old man, Juan Manuel Leon Sandoval, avoided conviction after kicking an attacker in the head during a heated confrontation in Hamilton. The victim, who had yelled racial slurs and thrown punches, relentlessly chased Sandoval and his friend despite multiple attempts to walk away. Sandoval’s lawyer argued it was extreme self-defense, citing the victim’s aggression and Sandoval’s remorse — even offering to pay emotional harm damages. The judge agreed, granting a discharge without conviction, saying a conviction would unfairly harm Sandoval’s future job prospects.
