A man has been arrested in the beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow, but according to the Examiner, he has an alibi.
Giovanni Ramirez, 31, was arrested in an East Hollywood apartment early Sunday morning and is alleged to have been “the primary aggressor” in the beating of 42-year-old Brian Stow on March 31. Stow suffered a severe skull fracture and is in a coma.
Ramirez’ lawyer, Chip Matthews, says three witnesses will testify that his client was at his Los Angeles apartment, not at the game, at the time of the attack, TMZ reported.
Ramirez was nabbed following a tip from his parole agent, who noticed a resemblance to police sketches that have been widely disseminated by the media, and is featured on 300 billboards in the Los Angeles area.
According to the Examiner, Ramirez has previous convictions on charges including attempted robbery and “possessing or importing for sale composite or hard wooden knuckles,” which apparently is a misdemeanor. Other charges including assault, drug-related charges and one count of firing a weapon in public were dismissed.
Justice cannot come soon enough in this Bryan Stow case, but the more important thing is that police get the right criminal. Here’s hoping that if Ramirez was responsible, justice will be served. And the same can be said for the other two people who remain at large, which include the female who drove the two thugs after they committed the heinous act.
