Giants CEO Larry Baer Won't Face Criminal Charges for Altercation with Wife Pam

The San Francisco District Attorney’s office will not press criminal charges against San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer. 

"After a careful review of the relevant evidence, including multiple videos, statements from several witnesses and the parties themselves, the evidence does not support filing criminal charges," the office said in a statement, per TMZ Sports.

TMZ previously posted video of Baer in an altercation with his wife, Pam Baer. He knocked her to the ground while attempting to wrestle a phone from her hands.

Evan Sernoffsky of the San Francisco Chronicle noted Bay Area officials, Giants fans and a Bay Area domestic violence advocates group were among those who called for Major League Baseball to punish Baer after the video was released.

Baer is on a leave of absence from the team:

While he won't face criminal charges, the Giants CEO could still be punished by MLB.

Sernoffsky cited a source who said investigators looked at extended video footage that revealed the Baers were in a verbal argument for nearly a half-hour before the portion of the altercation that was released by TMZ. The extended footage reportedly shows Pam reaching for the phone multiple times and Larry showing her the phone before she ultimately took it.

It was Larry's third attempt to get his phone back that knocked Pam to the ground.

"I did not sustain any injury based on what happened today," Pam Baer said in a statement, per ESPN.com. "Larry and I always have been and still are happily married."

He also released a statement, saying "I am truly sorry for the pain that I have brought to my wife, children and to the organization. It is not reflective of the kind of a person that I aspire to be, but it happened, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I never behave in such an inappropriate manner again."
