((HT: KABC-TV))
The jury has come back and delivered a verdict in the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow on Opening Day 2011.
Stow's attorney maintained the Dodgers and then-owner Frank McCourt were liable for having lacked proper security forces at Dodger Stadium should fighting break out between Dodger and Giants fans.
The end result is that McCourt is absolved. The Dodgers are 25-percent to blame and the two men charged in the Stow beating- Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood are responsible for the balance.
The jury awarded Stow $18 million in damages, which means the Dodgers must pay about $4.5 million. Sanchez and Norwood would be responsible for the balance.

McCourt Testifies In Bryan Stow Civil Trial
((HT: KTTV/MyFoxLA))
This was interesting...
The former owner of the LA Dodgers testified in the $35-million civil trial brought by Bryan Stow and his family after Stow received a beating in the Dodger Stadium parking lot on Opening Weekend 2011. He is suing McCourt for that amount claiming that will cover his costs for lifetime care since Stow has brain damage and is disabled.
Stow's father was the only member of the family to watch the testimony in the negligence case.
McCourt was asked about the security (or perceived lack thereof) and the McCourt camp maintains that intoxication and heated words caused the fight and beating that disabled Stow rather than the lack of security.

Stow's attorneys are saying care could be more in the neighborhood of $50-million.

Former McCourt Security Guard Testifies In Stow Trial
((HT: KABC-TV))
Neill Murchison, part of then-owner Frank McCourt's personal security detail for one year, testified Tuesday in the Bryan Stow civil trial.
He said on the stand that he raised concerns over the lack of security presence at Dodger Stadium and that there had been an increase of gang activity there- particularly in the parking lots. One of those lots, Lot 2, was where Bryan Stow, a Giants fan, was beaten severely Opening Day Weekend of 2011 by Dodgers fans at the stadium and is suing McCourt for $50-million in a civil proceeding for pain, suffering, and medical costs since he is now permanently disabled.
Jeff Bradford, a friend of Stow's, also testified Tuesday. Bradford was also beaten, but defense attorneys asked about just how sober he was- intimating he wouldn't know how much security may or may not have been around to protect fans.

Opening Statements In Bryan Stow Case
((HT: NBC Los Angeles))
You had to get through a six-page written questionnaire, but 16 jurors were selected, eight men and eight women, to hear the Bryan Stow civil case against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt.
Stow suffered brain damage in the Opening Day 2011 beating at Dodger Stadium and is permanently disabled.
His lawyers say his lifetime care could cost $50 million and he will not testify in the case.
Patrick Healy is outside the courtroom
Four of the 16 will become alternate jurors, but the panelists will not know until the end of the trial which 12 will actually deliberate on the Stow case and deliver a verdict.
The Dodgers maintain that the security force they had at the Giants-Dodgers game was one of the biggest they ever had and that the responsibility for the acts of that day rest with Stow for wearing his Giants gear and two Dodger fans who beat him on that day.

Bryan Stow Suing McCourt In Civil Proceeding
((HT: MyFoxLA))
You'll remember that Bryan Stow was a Giants fan who was beaten severely Opening Day of 2011 by Dodgers fans at Dodger Stadium. He spent months in hospital and even more in rehabilitation trying to regain even the simplest of motor functions.
He feels the Dodgers were responsible for not having enough security to protect himself, his friends, and family and has taken the matter to civil court in Los Angeles.

Bryan Stow Beating Defendants Sentenced
((ht: cbssports.com))
The two Los Angeles men convicted of beating San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger stadium after a baseball game will be spending some time in prison.
Marvin Norwood, after pleading guilty to an assault charge likely to produce bodily injury, was sentenced to 4-years in a state prison. Louie Sanchez, who pled to a charge of mayhem with the intent to critically injure, was sentenced to 8-years.
The beating incident left Stow in a coma for months and he's still disabled and will require major medical care for the rest of his life.
No real reason was given for what happened other than Stow being an out of town fan at the wrong place at the wrong time.

DEVELOPING: Stow Beating Suspects To Stand Trial
((HT: MyFoxLA))
Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood were arrested last July in connection with the beating of Giants fan, Bryan Stow, at the season opener last season against the LA Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
After a 5-day preliminary hearing, Superior Court Judge George Lomeli decided that "...There is sufficient cause for which to conclude the defendants are responsible for the charges referenced..."
Here's Louie Sanchez's sister, Doreen, testifying this morning before the decision was made...
Doreen Sanchez, who is Sanchez’s sister and Norwood’s fiancée, testified over two days that she drove the men away from the stadium after the attack. She has been promised immunity for her testimony.
Stow was moved to a "rehabilitation apartment" three months ago, but he is still having issues with memory and recovery.

Bryan Stow has improved to the point that he was released from San Francisco General Hospital and transferred to a rehabilitation facility. Stow's family has requested the name of the facility not be released just yet to give Stow time to get settled.

Stow Beating Witness Dies After Allergic Reaction
((HT: KTLA-TV))
One of the key witnesses in the Bryan Stow beating has died from an allergic reaction from eating nuts in a salad- eventhough the medical examiner's office has yet to give an official diagnosis for the death.
The DA's office refused to confirm the report, but told KTLA that Lee's death would not affect the prosecution of the case. Lee was with Stow and another friend when they were attacked in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium.
Louie Sanchez and and co-defendant 30-year old Marvin Norwood are charged in the March 21 attack. Each is being held on $500,000 bail.
Legal documents allege Sanchez took part in four assaults that day finishing off with the attack on Stow.
Elizabeth Espinosa has the story on the bail hearing for the two being postponed for a little while...

TV EXCLUSIVE: Stow Beating Suspect's Mother Speaks Out...
((HT: KTLA-TV))
Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez appeared in court yesterday, but their arraignments were postponed until August 20th.
They are charged with one count each of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury in the Stow attack.
Police believe the suspects may have assaulted at least three other Giants fans on Opening Day, and they are asking for more possible victims to come forward, "especially anyone wearing a Giants jersey or sitting behind 3rd-base line."
Here's David Begnaud with Norwood's mother...
Police sources tell The LA Times newspaper that the two bragged to coworkers about the attack. Cell phone records and photos place them at the game.
The details are pretty nasty on the beating, so the HQ isn't going to go into great detail. And this may or may not have to do with anything, but both Norwood and Sanchez have criminal records...

Stow Attackers Appearing In LA Court
LA DA office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says that Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood will be arraigned on one count each of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury.
They are accused of beating northern California paramedic Bryan Stow on opening day at Dodger Stadium.
Sanchez and Norwood were arrested back on Thursday. You'll remember original suspect Giovanni Ramirez was set free late last week.
The criminal complaint says the beating caused Stow "to become comatose due to brain injury and to suffer paralysis." The mayhem count alleges that they cut and disfigured his face.
