Cheap shot foul on dunk temporarily paralyzes Indiana star

[constable]

Allow me to weigh in here on the criminal aspect.

Speaking from my experience in law enforcement, charges would not be laid here.

A certain amount of violence is expected during a sport, especially a contact sport. Basketball is a contact sport.

Court systems are too overloaded now to begin with. If I laid that charge in my jurisdiction ( Ontario) it would most likely get laughed out of court. Actually, my supervisors wouldn't send the file to the courts.
