Man who punched a disabled man in Manhattan may avoid jail time after blaming the attack on his *diabetes. *The NYC justice system is moronic. Andrew Caban is blaming his diabetes for sucker-punching 61-year-old Richard Regen. It gets worse. Regen was forced to undergo brain surgery due to the attack, spent 30 days in the hospital and now lives with frequent seizures. At the time of the attack, he was headed to rehab for his stroke he suffered a couple years earlier. Caban says he is "sorry" that his diabetes caused the attack." I’ve suffered diabetes for a very long time from a very young age. I’ve had hypoglycemic episodes previously, and I’m so sorry this has happened," he said in Manhattan Criminal Court. "I was reckless. There were no intentions at all. I had no intentions to harm him. "Caban is trying to claim he didn't "fully recall" what happened because of his diabetes. Caban faced up to a year in jail but pleaded guilty to reckless assault in the third degree which means he may get off with "just a slap on the wrist" under a sweetheart plea deal. (NY Post)
