Overview
- Jackson, who pleaded no contest on Wednesday, is expected to serve 90 days in county jail, spend two years on formal probation, and pay $81,703.38 in restitution.
- Sentencing is set for June 22 at the San Fernando Courthouse, and prosecutors say the restitution must be paid before the hearing.
- The case stems from an Aug. 23, 2025 KnokX Pro event in Los Angeles, where Jackson live‑streamed himself entering the ring and slamming Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith before throwing about 20 punches as Smith appeared unconscious.
- By accepting the deal, Jackson avoids a trial and the far longer prison exposure reported for the original charges and enhancements, which outlets put at up to about seven years.
- Smith suffered serious facial and jaw injuries and received six‑figure crowdfunding support, while the viral footage intensified scrutiny of indie wrestling safety and how livestreams can escalate real‑world fallout.
