Ok so to break it down..
Woman and Weaver are arguing, police arrive and intervene, seperating the two.
Woman walks outside. Weaver states to officers on the scene that he has "no problem hitting women if they need it". then he walks outside.
Police officers then walk outside to find the woman laid out on the ground, Weaver no where to be seen, and at least one witness saying Weaver punched her.
Weaver is then charged with assault and in response his lawyer releases a statement saying "he didnt punch anyone"
so does that mean he slapped her? knocked her down? shoved her?
seems like if you are responding to an assault charge you would say "he didn't ASSAULT anyone" not specify a certain word.
the other witness said they did not see the punch but did see her fall to the ground. Was Weaver standing next to her when that happened?
