I know of two similar incidents that happened locally (altercations ending in a one punch death). There are many factors as to whether or not a charge will stick. Did he die from the punch, his head hitting the counter or the floor, or some underlying medical reason? These are all reasons the charge could go from murder to manslaughter to accident.
Hopefully the assaulter will face charges and justice served, but it doesn't happen as fast as tv land and it's never simple when you are laying this serious of a charge.
