Update into Giovanni Ramirez arrest for Giants fan beating
Lawyers for Dodgers beating suspect Giovanni Ramirez said Tuesday that the LAPD has the wrong guy in custody. Anthony Brooklier and Jose Romero, now representing Ramirez, are offering more reasons why their client isn’t connected to the brutal attack of Bryan Stow on opening day at Dodger Stadium. They’re saying, among other things, that Ramirez didn’t have a shaved head on the day of the attack, as witnesses have described. Additionally, Ramirez’s lawyers say it’s unlikely charges will ever be filed in the case. But authorities insist Ramirez is still the “prime suspect.” And now, it seems Ramirez is wanted in connection with a gang shooting in Nevada. We’ll get the latest details on the case, including whether Ramirez will take a lie detector test today. Was Ramirez in the wrong place at the wrong time? Did the police make an error, or are they on the right track?
