Description
The complainant, a talent scout, had gone with two friends to a Manhattan nightclub where musicians were being showcased. In the crowded basement lounge, someone bumped into her, causing her to spill her drink on Lisa Browns coat. After the complainant apologized and tried to assist Brown in cleaning off the coat, the two got into an altercation. The complainant and her companions testified that Brown verbally abused all three. Eventually, defendant intervened and, according to one of the complainants companions, asked Brown if he should "cap" the complainant. Defendant approached the complainant, looked her in the eye, and punched her. She swung back, and defendant then hit her in the mouth, knocking her to the floor. Defendant then kicked her at least twice in the lower back as she was trying to get up. Browns version of the confrontation was that the complainant was the aggressor, that she herself then kicked the complainant, and that defendant was merely a bystander.
