"Well, to me, Shawn, it looks like homicide. What does it look like to you?"
Former NHL star Sean Avery, who joined the discussion, stated:
"Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty dangerous word to be throwing around. I think that so I've watched it. It's terrible."
Jesse further stated:
"I'm not saying it was premeditated murder, but they do have reckless homicide, negligent homicide. When you're throwing a blade, as you said that's dangerous up to someone's neck in a hockey move that no one's ever seen before. I don't like it."
The use of the term "homicide" ignited a heated discussion on the show.
Avery emphasized the unorthodox nature of the incident:
"I saw the leg move, and it shouldn't have been where it was. But again, it's also an unprovable offense. I mean, how can you actually prove what the intent was?"
Avery also shed light on the advancements in skate technology, raising questions about the safety of modern equipment.
While it is essential to approach this tragedy with caution and due process, the discussion on Fox News underscores the gravity of Adam Johnson's death. The hockey world is left grappling with the question: Was Adam Johnson's death a homicide or a tragic accident?
