Is It Manslaughter? The Tragic Death of Hockey Player Adam Johnson

It's a horrific story: hockey player Adam Johnson dies after an opposing player's skate slashes his neck. Two weeks after the tragedy, British police arrest a man on suspicion of manslaughter. The hockey world (and society at large) is split: was a crime committed on the ice that night? 

2:45 | Toronto Star columnist Bruce Arthur tells us why he doesn't think Matt Petgrave should face charges in Adam Johnson's death. Plus, we get into Bruce's column on how the internet (and social media) is making the Israel-Hamas war even worse.
