The former San Francisco fire commissioner, who was beaten with a metal rod by a homeless man, told his side of the story in court on Wednesday for the first time.
, told his side of the story in court on Wednesday for the first time.
Video of the attack circulated widely following the April 5 attack. Donald Carmignani, the former commissioner, described the beating for the first time in court saying, he was "screaming I'm not fighting. The only thing I remember is him screaming die mother [expletive], die!" In court, Carmignani told the judge that he had asked a group of people he said were using drugs in front of his parents'home that morning to leave. When he asked a man he identified as the suspect in the case, Garret Doty, 24, to leave, he says he was subjected to a brutal beating to his head, shoulders and chest that left him hospitalized.
Carmignani, under the advice of his personal attorney who was inside the courtroom, invoked his 5th amendment right to avoid making incriminating statements when the defense team asked if he had ever used bear spray. This preliminary hearing was delayed repeatedly because Carmignani did not show up to court hearings. Related
