Felony assault charge for a drunken glancing flail leaving no mark?


Sure she behaved badly. But the overcharging and threat of a disproportionate sentence here is a much worse thing IMO. Cop says it was a glancing blow from a flailing drunk, it didn't leave a mark, and he felt no pain. Plus she didn't get the medical attention she needed - University Police & the city jail are lucky she didn't aspirate her vomit and die.

Perfect Jeopardy clue:
Answer: Felony assault on an officer reduced to misdemeanor simple assault.
Question: Why would someone plead guilty to something they didn't believe they did?
