Oscar Jackson, from Hitchin, is cleared of murdering Grant Wallendorf but convicted of manslaughter.
A scaffolder who punched a man after watching a Euro 2024 England football match at a sports club has been found guilty of manslaughter.
Mr Wallendorf, who also lived in Hitchin, suffered a brain injury after an artery ruptured, and he died in Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. Jackson had denied charges of both murder and manslaughter and told police he hit out in self-defence and did not intend to "harm or kill". Footage showed Mr Wallendorf gesticulating towards Mr Jackson in the club's car park after the game, before the punch was thrown.Nicola Haseler/BBCProsecuting barrister Simon Wilshire told the court that the question was whether Jackson had hit out in anger or in fear of an "imminent attack".Mr Wilshire did not argue that Jackson had intended to kill but said he had intended to cause "really serious harm", and was therefore guilty of murder.
