Who would be at fault in a fight, of one bloke said fight me, but the other one swung first?
Disclaimer: I am not in any legal trouble, just curious
So I was just daydreaming about getting into a fight, as I'm sure many of you have on occasion, and had ran into the thought described in the title.
AFAIK, whoever swings first in a fight is the aggressor in a legal sense, but does someone provoking a fight supersede that scenario?
I'm not talking about the first bloke getting in the other's face, saying fight me over and over, all that shit. More like if say the two were in a heated discussion, the first said well fight me then, and the second began the fight. Who would be at fault? Or would that be for the court to decide?
