I guess all that peace love and hairgrease stuff is out the window now. I'm still trying to get someone to tell me "How does an old person beat someone up?" He's like 72!

Sorry for my delayed response. Regarding the question of how a 72 year old Don Cornelius could (allegedly) beat someone up,
First, I don't know how long Don and Viktoria were together, but if they had been together for a long time, a certain amount of psychological domination could have occurred.
Second, if you doubt that elderly people could cause a lot of physical harm to others, try visiting a care facility for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. In the later stages of these illnesses, these patients feel helpless and are sometimes apt to lash out, sometimes physically. And they can hurt.
And obviously you don't have to be suffering from dementia to lash out physically at someone (let's put it this way - I wouldn't want to be in prison with O.J. right now). So it's entirely possible that Don Cornelius could have done what he is charged with doing.
