A grainy video of the moment a New Jersey music teacher swung her foot up on a 12-year-old student’s chair just before it toppled over, bringing him crashing backward onto his head, has been released by authorities.

The video was initially interpreted a year ago by a judge as a proof of a simple assault that cost Kimberley Peschi, 42, her teaching job.
