So @JeffreyToobin just opined on @CNN probably won't be prosecution of Gianforte. If facts are as sounded hard not to see misdmeanor assault
did he hear the audio? Certainly sounds like the tort of battery on the civil side.

Yes, they had just listened to the clip twice+had talked to
@alexis_levinson on the phone. Pianoforte has a statement out, but audio damning -
I'd take that battery case in a second
-
Oh yeah, me too! And I don't even practice that type of law but I'd still win.

Honest question: how do you prove a "touch" occurred with only audio?
-
Oh, you know, injuries, damage to property, testimony of victim. Convictions happen on that every minute of every day in criminal courts.
-
even easier in civil court with the lower standard of proof

Exactly
