LOS ANGELES Two men pleaded guilty on Thursday in the 2011 beating of Bryan Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan who was attacked outside Dodger Stadium and left with permanent brain injuries.

Family dealt a life sentence in this heart breaking case and said on the local radio that Bryan has backtracked due to his insurance issuers denying intensive care for him.
Unbelievable that this was not a case of attempted murder and that the assailants got 8 and 4 years which means they'll be out in (what?) 2-3? This is California after all where hardened criminals are being released back onto the streets b/c of prison overcrowding.
May Bryan and his family find peace somewhere after this horrible crime against him.
Agree with judge saying these guys are the nightmare we all fear when attending sports events. Not sure if these guys are gang members but would not be surprised.
It’s a damn shame that we all have to fear the feral people such as these. But they are out there, attending public events.
Police increase their presence markedly in San Diego at Chargers games vs. The Raiders. For some reason, the youth gangs have adopted the RAIDERS AS their team, and cause lots of trouble at their games.
The head thug got eight years for “mayhem”? What about attempted murder?
Yet the victim’s family approved of this light sentence.
but they look just like a “normal”, “respectable” adorable loving couple....
*cough*
The 3X punishment is Biblical.
I guarantee you that this would curb senseless aggression, just as CCW curbs crime everywhere it's instituted.
perhaps they were snubbed....i.e. “disrespected” cough cough....by their victim
Did their mommas show up in court, saying that these boys were turning their lives around?
Very possible he didn’t do the foot tap properly in the bathroom stall
Could get each of them ten years.
Louie Sanchez, 31,
thats the sense I got...from their...appearance.
do they expect to be allowed to bunk together in stoney lonesome?
another pair of Fatherless Chillen!
"Pleaded" is not uncommon, particularly in a legal context.
These guys will be delivering prison justice to all those other inmates sentenced for heinous crimes.
Don't worry; at least one of your fellow English-speakers says "pled."
AT least it wasn’t PLAID
The family referred to them as "cretins." What I think of them cannot be expressed here or the mods would ban me!!
I haven't set foot in Dodger Stadium since that time.
I listened to a lot local radio in the LA Area and heard fan after fan after fan report that they'd NEVER go to Dodger Stadium again because the thugs have taken over the place -- throwing beer and soda at people, yelling loud curses all over the place, rude, uncivil behavior.
Sort of like the high school I teach in!!
The Dodgers DID get rid of $2 night which brought out the animals.
Still, it will take a LOT for me to ever go back there -- and I've been going there since I was a small child.
There was no security in parking lot No. 2 and it took security 15 to 20 minutes to get there
He will be out of prison in 3 or 4 years.
