The man accused of sucker-punching a 12-year-old boy on a Missouri street corner is going to jail on a seven-year maximum sentence.
In a video of the random attack that went viral in July 2020, the suspect could be seen getting out an SUV from the passenger side and appeared to be joining in with the street performance in downtown Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Instead, he delivered a vicious blow to the head of Ethan Hagler, who was dancing on the sidewalk nearby his dancing instructor and another student. The suspect then returned to the vehicle and left the scene.
