Beating victim brian stowe, the giants fan who suffered brain damage after being attacked outside dodger stadium. The family is certainly relieved the jury found stowe was in no way at fault, but the nearly 18 million judgment is only a fraction of what they say is needed to cover all of his medical bills. Good evening. Im dan ashley. Im ama dates. Word of the verdict spread quickly at the giants versus as game. Alan wang is live at at t park with the story. Alan . Reporter dan and ama, a lot of giants fans and players talking about the verdict. The stowe family is satisfied with the verdict because this could changing Major League Baseballs attitude toward ballpark security. The financial award, however, is less than half of what they sought. Were any of the following negligent, los angeles dodgers, llc . Yes. The jury decided the dodgers did not provide enough security at their Stadium Parking lot when brian stowe was beaten on opening day 2011. Stowe was left with permanent brain damage. I think it was a chain of events that happened in the entire ballgame. One thing lead to another. Stowe who will need life long care was awarded nearly 18 million in damages. The dodgers will pay about 14 million of that with norwood and sanchez responsible for the rest. And then the dodgers owner was cleared of negligence. I feel like it is a victory, and it is a big weight off of our shoulders. Publicly the stowe family rejoiced, but the giants Third Base Coach said stowes sister texted him expressing disappointment. They were asking for 37. 5 million. They felled relieved that brian was not held responsible at all, zero percent in the attack. But yet the 18 million awarded, it doesnt cover even the hospital bills that a are owed already. Hopefully this is a learning thing for all sports and sport franchises to help make it safer for the people who love the game. Giants fans we spoke to hope the verdict will improve ballpark security across the league. You go to these ballparks and it gets out of control sometimes. I think it does set a precedent to owners and fans alike. The jury said the dodgers had a security plan, but somewhere along the line it broke down. In San Francisco, alan wang, abc7 news.

One the Company Claims will bring 1,000 new construction jobs to the city. We lost our homes. We lost cars. They will say anything to save money.

Refinery Officials Say the project would result in no net increase in emissions. But the attorney general wants them to go further. Under the environmentally superior endorsed by the attorney general, it is a net improvement in air quality and health risks. In the end there are clearly those who trust chevron and those who do not. Especially after the 2012 refinery fire. As far as many of us are concerned in the Community Chevron has zero credibility and there is no reason to trust them because they have consistently throughout the history of our lives lied to us.
