re: Charges to be filed on Simmons

Can't be true. I read on the Internet that no charges would be filed, because the victim started it, and she wasn't really hurt anyhow.

where did you read that? the victim starting it doesn't change anything unless he claims self-defense, which he didn't. Her lying on the ground getting beaten by two people kind of defeats that as well. her "starting it" by making a verbal attack doesn't change anything. assault is still assault.
