What are you going by there for "
what he is accused of doing?"
The Canadian equivalent of a charging statement still has not been released. What was released that I saw looked pro forma. And my understanding of Canadian criminal law is that he was charged with the lesser of three possible levels of assault offenses. While its true MLB hit him harm with the suspension, they likewise gave no facts.
He has never admitted guilt and his attorney thinks he might get him off. He is after what they call a "peace bond" which is a sort of Canadian promise that you're going to be a good citizen in the future and is something they often let first-time offenders, like Osuna, off with. If it isn't granted, the attorney says Osuna will continue to plead not guilty and go to trial. If this is true (which I concede might not be the case) then its an indication they have some facts on their side (because they certainly have no good will to trade on).
So anyway, what do you know about what he is supposed to have done that the media does not?
Examples --
Toronto police declined to say whether it was domestic assault. Constable Jenifferjit Sidhu said the charge is for one count of assault but provided no further details.

Details are scant at this point, so it’s far too soon to assess the situation. The precise nature of the allegations, possible range of legal ramifications, and potential for league punishment are all completely unknown publicly.
