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.

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.
