No charges against Mike Tyson for the Airport scuffle

A great 2010 start for former champ Mike Tyson after Los Angeles prosecutors decided to dismissed the charges against him. They found "insufficient evidence" over the alleged assault against a photographer at L.A. International Airport last month.
Tyson's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said, "The City Attorney's office made the right decision given the harassing conduct of the paparazzo who persisted in the aggressive pursuit of Mr. Tyson even after being ordered by airport security personnel to leave him alone."
The photographer suffered a minor laceration to the forehead after being punched by iron Mike.

The champ claimed that his action is a self-defense to protect his child (10-month old daughter).
