Sources: Duo will plead guilty in Bryan Stow beating

""The years you spend in prison is what you cretins deserve," he said as Sanchez smirked at him."

This is still tough to read to this day. What makes it worse is that the coward that sliced up Stow's face was smirking at the judge when getting his sentence. I think the judge wasn't happy with the sentencing, but has to go along with the plea.

 

Judges don't have to go with a plea and can kick it back, but generally when the DA puts the plea together (which is almost all cases) they accept it if it atleast meets minimum requirements. I've seen cases kicked back and I've seen the same thing where the judge almost reluctantly signs off.

Some good news, from today's L.A. Times: Norwood and Sanchez each face up to ten years in federal prison on numerous weapons charges. Authorities said they will transfer Norwood immediately into federal custody.

 

There is no parole in federal prison.

I hope the Stow family rakes in a ton of dough from Mcourt......not that it will fix the brokeness. 

 

The Dodgers issued a statement saying "we are pleased that the culpable parties have finally accepted responsibility for their actions and have been sentenced for their crimes."

 

The Dodgers are dodging their part in this.

There's an old article on TMZ (pics) and Stow did not lose an eye. His face actually looks ok. But obviously he is very much an invalid now.

Jamie and Frank should pay up.

These fools will receive a hero's welcome from the rest of the Dodger fans in prison.

I am so offended by this Dodger statement

U.S. Magistrate Judge Frederick Mumm's decision Wednesday stopped the pending release of Marvin Norwood, who was sentenced to four years in prison for the beating of Brian Stow. The sentence came last week and with credit for time served, he could have been freed soon.

According to City News Service, Mumm said Norwood was a danger to the community and a flight risk and should be held pending trial.

One thing (maybe the only thing) I love about the federal government is that it generally doesn't screw around with respect to legal matters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy receive a harsher penalty in the federal proceedings than he did in the state proceedings.

Good. Hope he gets a reasonable settlement. What would also be reasonable is the police followed up on the assault and arrested those involved.

Just as a correction in regards to some of the earlier posts. Violent felonies require an inmate to serve 87% of their sentence in CA.

"Garcia claims he was sitting in section 309 with a few friends and he wore a Los Angeles Angels jersey to the game."

Hopefully this technicality doesn't ruin hos case.

Especially since he was clearly wearing a periwinkle-blue Disney Angels jersey.

Our wonderful Governor will probably pardon them eventually.

What you are saying is Dodger fans are the 87 percentile.

It’s been a while( Barry Bonds was playing), but I was at Dodger stadium for one of their games against the Giants and saw a group of Giants fans have their belongings taken from them and destroyed/tossed aside.  They were also physically assaulted (not that grabbing someone’s shit isn’t physical assault) 

it was quite a commotion and Dodger stadium security didn’t do shit.  I honestly couldn’t believe it.  Who knows where the LAPD was.  Not around I guess.

I am not sure this is 100 percent accurate. It probably is as to some violent felonies, but not all. And even if true, 87 percent of a short sentence is still a short sentence. 

[Lou]

Apologies, that should have been 85%.

Stupid fat thumb.
