Man Arrested in Connection with Fatal Tigerland Bar Fight
Attorney Franz Borghardt expresses shock at the arrest of 21-year-old Matthew Marsiglia on manslaughter charges in connection with a deadly fight outside Fred’s in Tigerland, arguing that the case appears to be a textbook example of self-defense based on the police affidavit. The affidavit describes a confrontation in which Marsiglia allegedly shoved 26-year-old Devin Repath, causing him to fall and suffer fatal blunt force trauma to the head. Borghardt believes Marsiglia should not face trial and questions the basis for the arrest.
