- The argument began because Laínez was wearing suspenders with the colors of the Spanish flag, which caused a friend of Lanza to whisper to him that he was a 'fascist'.
- Lanza had prior convictions: he had been sentenced to 5 years for leaving a police officer tetraplegic in Barcelona in 2006.
- Initially he was sentenced to 5 years for reckless homicide, not for murder, although subsequently he was sentenced to 20 years after appeal.
- The claim of 'from behind' is not literally verified in the sources; the autopsy revealed that he was beaten and kicked in the head while on the ground.
