Gregary Teer, who killed a fellow student after being repeatedly harassed, has been deemed to have used justifiable force in his defense. Teer punched his attacker, who then fell, smacking his head on the floor and incurring a fatal head injury.[1]

Escritt smacks his head on the tile floor and lifts up one arm to the ceiling before falling back down.

He was taken unconscious to a hospital, where he died three days later. An autopsy showed that his cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

‘There is no question in my mind that Escritt was the initial physical aggressor in this incident,’ Wilber said at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

‘In Iowa you are entitled to use reasonable force to defend yourself. This is not a case of deadly force being used’, WOWT reported
