Head or Heart - The Result Was the Same

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Justice In a classic story of jealousy and revenge, mouth-artist, William "Rusty" Redfern, had a fight with his girlfriend's ex and ended up head-butting him to the ground. The victim, Charles "Keith" Teer of Snellville, died within seconds of the attack. His attacker personally dialed 911 and drove to the police station to report the fight. It was, as they say, an open and shut case.

Or was it?

An autopsy revealed that Teer had died from a heart attack and that he had heart disease of which he had been unaware when alive. This means that, currently, there are no charges that can be brought against Redfern. Teer's friends and family accept that Redfern didn't intentionally kill his love rival but, they say, the fact that he died within seconds of the head butt links the two events. Intentionally or not, they believe that Redfern killed Teer and should, therefore, be punished.
