British man not guilty after punch in fight turns fatal TOOTING, England, April 29 (UPI) -- A jury in England exonerated a man on manslaughter charges after the punch he threw in a fight during a cocaine-fueled party turned out to be fatal. Thomas Evans, 32, of Tooting, England, was found not guilty following a two-week trial, The Guardian of London said. Evans said he was acting in self-defense when the victim, Anthony Thompson, 26, attacked him, angry because after he'd passed out another party-goer drew a penis on his face using lipstick. "It was you know, like a Rocky film," Evans said. He threw the first punch. I flung my left arm out. It was a straight reaction defense mechanism. I flung out a right arm and that hit him. Doctors said Thompson died of brain damage. Evans turned himself in to police after learning Thompson had died.
