Officer will be shocked if alleged sucker punch death goes to trial

The arresting officer says the case looks so strong against a man accused of murder in the alleged sucker punch death of an unsuspecting victim at a Braselton bar earlier this month that he’d “be shocked” if the case goes to trial. Although the accused, 40-year-old David Allen Digiacomo, of Flowery Branch, has the right to a trial by a jury of his peers, Braselton Assistant Police Chief Lou Solis told The Times on Tuesday that a plea deal would be a more likely scenario. Solis, who arrested Digiacomo Dec. 16, said a video of the unprovoked sucker punch delivered against the victim — 34-year-old Clint Roshan Ali — along with the recorded statement given to police by Digiacomo would likely end in some kind of plea deal.
