The San Francisco District Attorney's Office Does Their Job
Believe it or not, two people were charged today in the Baker's Dozen New Year's eve melee. The two people charged were Richard Aicardi and Brian Dwyer. Aicardi, the instigator and the one who gave us the such classic lines as "this is the 415" and "I'm 20 deep, my boys are coming" is being charged with two counts of felony assault and one count of battery. Dwyer is being charged with felony assault and battery. The two were charged for the beat down of singers Evan Gogel and William Baile. As for Sharyar Aziz Jr., the one who got his jaw broken, nobody has been charged yet for what happened to him. Police say they don't have enough evidence to convict anyone for what happened.
Lawyers for the two people charged say that the case is more complicated than everyone thinks as there was alcohol involved and kids will be kids. Whitney Leigh, the lawyer for Aziz says that it's "totally unacceptable" that Aicardi wasn't charged with what happened to Aziz and that more of Aicardi’s 415 gang should have been arrested.
We await Ken Garcia's take on the news. We're sure it'll be highly amusing.

I think ultimately when people look at this upper-class raised kid, with his private schooling, his telegraph hill childhood, his doctor parents, and look at the type of douche he turned out to be that we all realize what a failure his parents were. That now that he has fucked up as an adult, done something so incomprehensibly stupid, said things so bizarrely revealing about how he views himself (he things he's a gangster thug obviously)that everybody pretty much agrees this kid needs a hard bitch slap of justice.
I hope they give him the full four years, and eventually charge him for the broken jaw as well.
While I agree that this crime is abhorrent, I do not believe that all blame can be laid at his parent's feet. I know his mother personally, as she was the pediatrician to my oldest child. She is a kind, loving, gentle, and open-minded person, not to mention an excellent physician. Her husband is a dentist. Not exactly a high-falootin' career. If one wonder's where they learned to hate like this, perhaps better to look more carefully at what these boys may have learned at their "exclusive" SF parochial Catholic school.
While the Aicardis are definitely well off I doubt the Yale students come from families that are hurtin'.
And only the Chronicle has so far published that the Yale students admitted to drinking at the party.
And only a blog has mentioned that apparently the penalty for drinking while representing the University is expulsion at Yale....
Yale doesn't punish its students for drinking - on or off campus. It is college, after all.
Hey sfvalues-
Nobody in this blog knows exactly why this POS kid turned out the way he did; including you. That said, explain why it is not logical for you to keep your liberal Christophobic mouth shut and stick to what you actually know?
Just because you hate Christianity is no reason to mouth off about it in this venue. In this case, you have no idea what you're talking about. Therefore, you should be quite. You have the opportunity to make a logical point to all, and you relinquish it with your typical knee-jerk liberal comment. You're position is illogical and out of line.
I know it is counterintuitive (as a liberal), but try to abstain from feeling-based & hatred-based comments, and try to operate within the confines of logic and facts. Okay?
