So that guy slit someone's throat with the blade of an ice skate? It was on purpose or accidental? Is there a video of what happened?

They're trying to say it was on purpose because of how his leg came swinging around after a hit, but...it's iffy.

Absolutely, so, so dangerous, but prosecution worthy? I understand someone died in this case, and that's tragic, but...it's an accident, IMO

Absolutely. You willingly play with blades on your feet going in all directions after big hits. It's a known risk, a known entity. They have more and more safety equipment available, but the risk persists and is well known.
