âThey (police) could have done a million other ways than to kill the man,â said Paul Tesh, whom Castillo struck on the head with a hammer during the standoff. âIf they (police) were trained, Joey would still be alive. They didnât have to kill the man.
âThey could have disarmed him. Throw the cuffs on him, and it would have been done.â
Tesh said that Castilllo struck him once in the face with the hammer, and not several times as police said in a statement. It will take about six months for Tesh to recover from his injuries, he said.
