Lawyer for white male who slapped black male then got beaten up in Cincinnati mob attack blasts charge against client

The attorney for the white male seen on video slapping the face of a black male, then getting beaten up in last month's Cincinnati mob attack , blasted the misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge against his client.

A cellphone video shows a white male and several black males squaring off before the mob attack begins. The video shows light physical contact between the white male and two black males, while others of both races appear to try to break things up. Then amid verbal sparring, the white male lightly slaps the face of a black male — and then the mob attack commences.
