Two beat up one in the LA Dodgers parking lot into a coma, he was messed up for years. He was a firefighter. Just because they were Dodger fans and he was a Giants fan. Sick POS to do this one.
LOS ANGELES — Two men pleaded guilty Thursday morning to a 2011 beating at Dodger Stadium that left San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow brain damaged and disabled.
Defendant Marvin Norwood, 33, pleaded guilty to one count of assault likely to produce great bodily injury.
CBS Los Angeles reports that he was sentenced to four years in prison.
Co-defendant Louie Sanchez, 31, saying he kicked and punched Stow, pleaded guilty to one count of mayhem that disabled and disfigured the victim. He was sentenced to eight years.
As part of the plea agreement, all other charges against the pair were dropped. Both were sentenced after Judge George Lomeli heard victim impact statements.
Two witnesses who attended the March 31, 2011, game told of being bothered by Sanchez, who was throwing peanuts and spraying soda on a woman in the bleachers. His sister testified that Sanchez was drunk.
Corey Maciel, a fellow paramedic who came with Stow from Northern California to cheer for the Giants, told of seeing his friend attacked and throwing his own body over him to prevent further harm.
"As soon as he was punched, he was unconscious and fell back on his head," Maciel testified. "He was unable to brace himself. I saw his head bounce off the concrete. I heard the crack."
The assailant then kicked Stow in the head at least three times and again in the torso, according to the testimony.
Maciel said he heard profanities and one person say, "(Expletive) the Giants. That's what you get."
Last spring, Stow returned home after two years in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. His family said he requires constant physical therapy and remains severely disabled.
