Exactly. Murder you would have to prove intent, and since this was a punch in the face and not a push, it’s hard to prove the puncher had the intention making him lose balance.

If I start to fight you near the subway tracks, it doesn’t matter your intent. Subways are dangerous, and starting a fight there just ain’t the same as on the street.

This guy should be tried for murder and then get electrocuted.

I tend to agree with you.

It's a natural consequence of starting a fight on a subway platform. It's ALWAYS a risk. They might make a case for something like negligent homicide after they gather the facts.
