Any guy who beats up a woman deserves to have his ass kicked. And making an excuse for said person because he was drunk is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
No one is making any excuses for him. He should be fired, but charged with a misdeaenor like anyone else, not a felony. And because he is being charged with a felony, he will likely get off scott-free.
