A San Carlos man pleaded guilty Thursday to involuntary manslaughter for throwing a punch that killed a Giants fan outside AT&T Park in 2008, attorneys said.

Under a plea agreement announced the day his trial was supposed to start, Taylor Buckley, 20, will be sentenced to one year in jail and five years' probation for the death of 18-year-old Anthony Giraudo of Redwood City.

Buckley was an 18-year-old senior at Carlmont High School in Belmont on May 9, 2008, when he punched Giraudo, a freshman at Cañada College in Redwood City, during an argument outside the ballpark.

Giraudo, a pitcher on his college's baseball team, fell and struck his head on the concrete. He died the next day.

San Francisco prosecutors charged Buckley with involuntary manslaughter instead of murder because they concluded he had not intended to kill Giraudo.

Buckley, who has been free on bail, was handcuffed and remanded into custody after accepting the plea agreement. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 22.

Buckley's attorney, Douglas Horngrad, said the deal was identical to one the defense offered almost three years ago. "We have thought this was a fair disposition for quite some time now," he said.

Horngrad said his client has been remorseful since the incident and called Giraudo's death "a tragedy all around."

"When you play a role in the event in which someone loses their life, you never get over it," Horngrad said. "I don't think Taylor will get over it, and the Giraudo family, who buried a child, will never get over it."

This was disappointing to hear. I really like Melky.

[Rain Man]

His name is Melky?

That's what happens when Dodger fans come up here. YOu forget opening day with the father that got beat into a coma in front of his kids for being a Giants fan. What is it with you guys

BTW, Gotta love Victor Conte. That guy is going to be a thorn in the side of MLB for the rest of his life.

It is safe to assume that these kind, innocent Giants fans that you speak of are also Niner fans. How did those fans welcome the Oakland Raider fans last pre season? It looked like a prison yard fight/riot on tv.

Niners should be good this year. Come on man, we all know the Raiders fans start everything.

[KChiefer]

My FBB team is dropping like flies lately. Bautista, Konerko, Melky, Cuddyer.

[Paniero]

Melky will still win the batting title. Heh.

We have had our fair share of experiences with Raider fans in Oakland bro! I still remember when our group came over to meet you for a mini tailgate after the Chiefs at Niners game and we missed our ride. I asked a cop if we could walk to a bus stop to get out of the area because there were no taxis left.

He told us, we call people who walk out of this stadium 1 thing....

Agreed. Much tougher than the KCK 9th St, Paseo, Argentine projects!

Dont get too optimistic in Vegas about the Niners. When I was in SF a couple of weeks ago the local hack spouted a great stat. Of the 27 clubs who accomplished what the Niners did (3'sh wins to 10 plus) over the past 10 years only 3 won more than 8 plus games the following year.
