WAS it good fun with a snowball or a malicious unprovoked attack with an iceball?

A US jury is deciding the fate of Australian Andrew Thistleton who is accused of throwing a snowball at former co-worker Michelle Oehlert at the Copper Mountain ski resort in Colorado on February 3, 2007.


If convicted Mr Thistleton, a cross country skiing champion, faces up to 18 months jail in a US prison and could be prevented from working or studying in America. His legal team is arguing that he only lobbed a snowball playfully and it puffed on the victim's jacket.
