Stanford Griswold’s trial for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Brian Euston begins today

  • The man who threw the punch that killed Brian Euston (pictured) goes on trial today.

The involuntary manslaughter trial for the man charged with punching and killing Brian Euston outside a Westport bar last October is scheduled to begin today, according to Fox 4.

Stanford Griswold is accused of punching the 24-year-old Euston once. But that punch killed him.

Euston was found, bloody, at Westport Road and Mill Street around bar closing time on October 10. He suffered a severe head injury, but initially the cause of death was a mystery, with no witnesses coming forward. He died at Truman Medical Center two days later. Authorities later declared Euston’s death a homicide.
