Unfortunately, the case involving Grant's death was also not the first time Patterson was dealt with lightly by the legal system.
This was not Patterson's first encounter with the criminal justice system for an assault. In the same altercation, which happened outside a downtown bar in May 2017, Patterson also punched Grant's brother and another man, who also suffered a brain injury. The back of Grant's head struck the sidewalk, causing a traumatic brain injury.
Patterson threw a lethal punch at Grant, knocking him down.
But we're troubled by the light sentence given to Darren Patterson, who was sentenced to serve 18 months for the death of James Grant. We seldom criticize a criminal sentence handed down by a judge.
