Giles' lawyer plans to fight lawsuit, Giles to speak as soon as Tuesday
PADRES: Lawyer says Giles will fight lawsuit
"There's a very genuine defense here," Scott said. "Unfortunately, there's this one incident in Arizona, and Brian dealt with it like a man. He wasn't convicted. It was dismissed by the court. That's the high and low of it. ...
"(Olvera) is very nasty and very aggressive. Witnesses saw her hitting him and pulling his hair. We have documented evidence and a lot of nasty voice mails."
He may have taken responsibility after the fact but nothing Brian did that night was man like. From the rumors I've heard it might be easy to make a case that everybody involved in this lawsuit might be out of their f'n minds, but taking 30 days of anger management does not nullify a beating of your girlfriend.
"It's up to Brian to comment, but that's something that's in Brian's best interest," Alderson said Monday.
The Padres really need to take a much tougher stance on this whole situation. I'd start with a 30-day suspension for conduct unbecoming of a Padre and then depending on what they know about the actual facts behind the case then decide whether or not to void his contract, because if half the stuff is true in the lawsuit he really shouldn't be associated with the team.

Seriously though
How do we know that other “bar patron” who was mimicking the slapping at the end of the tape wasn’t mimicking the chick slapping Brian? Maybe she attacked him and he pushed her off of him? Like I said before I don’t approve of hitting a woman for one second but we don’t know enough facts to make a judgement.

Because several witnesses at the bar gave stamens to the police that they saw Giles hit her.

Like I said before...
how do we know she wasn’t attacking him first? If you weren’t there you don’t know the full story. Maybe those same patrons said she instigated it….the full story is not out yet.
I personally would like to see some fault here that way we can void Giles contract and use that 9 million on other players…..NOT HOFFMAN…..since I like our OF as is right now (Headley, Gerut, Hairston, Venable).

She was attacking him first
while sitting at a bar before he walked in grabbed her by the hair and lead her to the exit and dropped her?

Come on
anyone can easily edit video footage to look a certain way. Bottom line is we don’t see the footage of the them walking in together, so we don’t see the original argument, and we don’t see what’s going on behind that curtain…therefore we don’t have the full story.

Even assuming that she did attack him first
Do you think its ok for a man especially one who plays professional sports for a living and is paid to work out and keep himself in top physical condition to strike a woman to the ground?

I've said it about 20 times now
of course I don’t think it’s alright. But for all we know she might have slipped behind that curtain and he didn’t throw her to the ground. Or maybe he threw her off of him while she was attacking him……which is self defense and he is not attacking her. There are so many different variables to this it makes no sense to pass judgment at this point in time.

Thrusting her nose
firmly into his fist; she then gave his hand a savage whack with her cheek.

We know that Giles accepted a plea bargain
that’s a fact we know.

I once pleaded 'no contest' to something I didn't do
just to get the whole ordeal over with… not saying that’s what I think went on here, just playing devil’s advocate.

I agree TTG
It is very common for athletes, celebrities or other big name people to settle or plea to make the stuff go away even if they didn’t do it. I’m not saying that it didn’t happen either but I’m not saying that I believe everything being said just yet. It’s like trade rumors…..don’t jump to conclusions before it happens.
You being a world famous gaslamp baller it’s understandable that you wanted to keep your ordeal under wraps too. I once killed a hooker and they said it was alright this one time because I once got into a civil and polite conversation with Scan as to whether or not he was a d-bag.

Being a man about it
refers to his cooperation and willingness to reach an agreement after the incident.
