By LINDA DEUTSCHLOS ANGELES -- Two men have been ordered to stand trial in the brutal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan in the Dodger Stadium parking lot last year.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Friday after a preliminary hearing of testimony and evidence against 30-year-old Louie Sanchez and 31-year-old Marvin Norwood.
The pair are accused of mayhem and assault and battery in the attack on Bryan Stow, a paramedic from Northern California who attended last season's opening day game at Dodger Stadium. Stow suffered brain damage and is permanently disabled.
The violence drew scrutiny of stadium security and fan behavior.
