Unfunny YouTube Leads To Arrest

What's better than a confession? Maybe a video of the crime? As reported by winknews.com:

A video posted online showcasing a man hitting another with a "baseball punch" lands a suspect behind bars.
In it you can see one man viciously hitting another across the face while those around, both teenagers and adults, laugh and cheer.
"It was a total setup for the man. They set him up they put him online and they knocked him out," said Patrick Cuervo, a witness to the attack.
So maybe he was knocked out first, and then put online. Not that it matters to the victim, Mr. Goff:
Goff suffered a fractured skull, damage to his ear, and a busted lip as a result and remains in the hospital.
As for the puncher...
... Investigators say the video is what led to the arrest, although they are still searching for more suspects. Christopher Gills, 20, was arrested for battery [and is in jail on $100,000 bond].
