The law does not look favorably upon aggressors in situations such as this (assuming what I have read is accurate).

I believe since it was "aggravated battery" by 3 counts..... time of 2 years to make a formal charge in criminal court. Also the guy does not have to "press charges". Being a felony, with as many witnesses present, and the evidence of the damages caused is plenty for the state to bring charges, themseleves. Even if they did not win a "strong" civil suit will have attorney's jockeying to get the case.
