Excellent ownage, Tilly! And glad to see you back!
Even if he does get a slap on the wrist, hopefully he will be sweating considerably until then -- and it will still involve a nice public court appearance, and with any luck a good tongue-lashing from the judge -- and Dickhead won't be able to answer back! (Well, not if he's activated a few more brain cells by then, anyway.)
As to why he didn't back down and apologize when your manager tried to call him ... I don't know whether it's ego or just plain stubbornness or what, but some people, when they feel they're backed into a corner (even though they know they are in the wrong), still refuse to admit they've screwed up and need to make it right. To them, apologizing and admitting they were a jerk is simply not an option.
