Aspiring rap artist dies after being 'punched for $5 bet'... by 22-year-old woman who now faces charges over his death

Article here. This is posted more as an object lesson: a woman's greatest strength is her veneer of weakness; a man's greatest weakness is his veneer of strength. Anyone who allows himself to be struck by anyone else for any amount of money is playing with fire. I doubt the woman who delivered the fatal blow will see any time from a conviction, given that the person who died was literally asking for it (but if she had been a he and vice versa, well, my prediction would then be different). Excerpt:

'A 22-year-old woman allegedly killed an aspiring rap singer with a single punch for a $5 party bet.

Tiffany Startz is accused of killing John 'Fatboy' Powell with a single blow to the face and has been told she has to stand trial.

The 25-year-old had agreed to be hit in the face by Starr in return for $5.

After being struck and collecting his money he walked away to talk with friends, only to collapse minutes later from a burst artery in his neck.

An autopsy ruled that he had died from a brain haemorrhage caused by blunt force trauma.
...
Startz, who is 5'5" and weighs 142lbs, was charged with reckless conduct and battery charges stemming from the incident last September in Joliet, Illinois.'
