Anthony giraudo trial

Pena Lora acknowledged during cross-examination that he did not know what the argument had been about, or what transpired before Buckley's punch. Police Inspector Gavin McEachern testified that Buckley told him during an interview that night that Giraudo had gotten into a verbal argument with one of Buckley's friends and threatened Buckley's group. According to McEachern, Buckley told him he had consumed three beers before the game but did not drink at the game.

Buckley then admitted to punching Giraudo, saying he did so after his friend hit Giraudo with a glancing blow that had little or no effect.

Buckley also admitted that his punch was "a cheap shot" and that Giraudo "could not see the punch coming," McEachern said. After Giraudo went down, Buckley then began yelling, "Knockout!

He said he wanted to leave the area before police arrived and removed his sweatshirt because people were already identifying him as the puncher. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Ellen Moffatt, who conducted Giraudo's autopsy, testified that the cause of death was blunt force injury to the head, which caused internal hemorrhaging on his brain.

She could not say whether the punch or the ground was more likely to have caused the fatal injury. Moffatt also conceded under cross-examination that it was "possible" Giraudo's blood-alcohol level of 0. She called the attack "an absolute sucker-punch," an unprovoked blow that caused the fall that resulted in Giraudo's death, she said.

Giraudo was standing behind two women who seemed to be trying to separate those arguing, and he had his arms down at the time he was struck, according to Pena Lora. Pena Lora pointed Buckley out to police and Buckley was arrested at the scene. According to McEachern, Buckley told him he had consumed three beers before the game but did not drink at the game.

He said he wanted to leave the area before police arrived and removed his sweatshirt because people were already identifying him as the puncher. It will be exactly four years ago today when Anthony Giraudo, 18, was felled by a blind-side punch in the right temple.

Anthony immediately hit the pavement. The assailant, year-old Taylor Buckley of San Carlos, had taken off his sweatshirt after throwing the punch to try to blend into the crowd, but he was quickly apprehended by bystanders, according to police. The Giants are in Los Angeles, so the front office has allowed the memorial to remain for three days.

Sheri had yet to see the spot where her son was killed. Bob had given Anthony and his three friends his seats — 19 rows behind the first base dugout.

There was another group of kids from Carlmont High. One of them had just broken up with that girl.
