Giovanni Ramirez may not be Bryan Stow’s assaulter – MLB News
Just when Bryan Stow’s family let out a breath of relief upon hearing the news of their relative’s assaulter getting arrested, more problems flew their way. According to the latest development, Giovanni Ramirez, the man who was arrested for the inhuman beating
of Stow may not be the person who attacked Stow in the parking lot of the tainted Dodger Stadium.
On March 31, Bryan Stow, a paramedic from the San Francisco area went to Dodger Stadium to watch a game between his home team, the San Francisco Giants and their historical rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers. What turned out to be just a normal game ended up
being possibly the last of Stow’s life. As he was leaving the stadium, two men clad in Dodger gear came to him in the parking lot and beat him to a pulp just because he was wearing a Giants jersey in support of his team.
Stow, who is a father of two was left in such a condition that doctors have to put him under a medically induced coma in an effort to stop the brain damage that was a result of the beating. Since that fateful day in March till now, Stow remains under intensive
care and is heavily sedated at all times, which helps in keeping the seizures he suffers from, at bay. Doctors are clueless as to when Stow might come out of the coma, if ever.
After almost three months of agonising wait, Giovanni Ramirez was arrested for being the main suspect in Stow’s case in a S.W.A.T operation that was described by the surrounding neighbours as ‘movie like’ and terrifying.
The Los Angeles police department has said that Ramirez, who is currently being held on $1-million-bail, voluntarily participated in a physical identification test. His attorney Anthony Brooklier was sure of the fact that the police had the wrong guy.
What makes the situation confusing is the fact that Giovanni is ready to undergo a police polygraph test which can immediately identify whether or not a person is lying. Brooklier commented, "He wasn't at the game. I think he's got a tremendous alibi," Brooklier
told a popular local TV channel. "He is willing to take a police polygraph. I've never had anybody said that to me in almost 40 years that I've been practicing criminal defense."
On the other hand, the Dodgers’ owner Frank McCourt is currently being sued by Stow’s family for negligence and lack of security at Dodger Stadium where violent events like this one are becoming more and more common. They are also suing him for not having
adequate lighting in the parking lot when Stow was brutally beaten.
