POLL: Was Taylor Buckley's Punishment Too Lenient?

The four year anniversary of Anthony Giraudo’s death at the hands of San Carlan Taylor Buckley has placed the much-talked about tragedy back in the headlines of the San Jose Mercury News.

As described in the article, Giraudo was hanging out with his friends from Serra High at a Giants game, one of whom was dating the ex-girlfriend of a Carlmont High teen who was also at the game with a group of his own friends, 18-year-old Taylor Buckley among them.

Tempers flared and Buckley snuck up behind Giraudo and sucker-punched him. The shot to the temple wound up killing Giraudo.

Buckley confessed to having thrown the punch, and the situation made headlines, stirring up emotions and opinions throughout the Bay Area.

And now, with Buckley having been released from prison after serving eight months of a one-year prison sentence, Anthony’s father Bob is speaking up to the Mercury News.

"It was all dealt with way too lightly," Bob Giraudo told the Mercury News. "San Francisco is a perfect place for a crime. Their court system is way too lenient."
