Two ordered to stand trial in Dodger Stadium beating LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two men were ordered on Friday to stand trial on assault and battery charges stemming from the brutal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan outside of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on opening day last year. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge found sufficient evidence for Louie Sanchez, 30, and Marvin Norwood, 31, to be tried on charges of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury. Those three charges collectively are punishable by up to eight years in prison. Sanchez also was ordered tried on two misdemeanor battery counts in connection with a separate incident the same day. Both men, who have pleaded not guilty, remain jailed in lieu of $500,000 bond. They are accused of attacking Giants fan and father of two Bryan Stow, now 43, in the stadium parking just after the season-opening game between the Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers on March 31, 2011, leaving Stow with a skull fracture and severe brain damage. The beating raised concerns about security at the stadium and led police to increase their presence there. Casting a pall over the start of the 2011 Dodgers season, the incident became a point of contention between Major League Baseball and the owner of the team at the time, Frank McCourt, in their struggle for control over the storied ball club. Friday's ruling caps a preliminary hearing of nearly six days during which prosecutors presented their evidence against the two men. A joint stipulation signed by prosecutors and defense lawyers stated that since the beating, Stow is unable to walk or carry on a normal conversation and that he will require daily assistance "for the remainder of his life." On Thursday, Dorene Sanchez, who is the fiancée of Norwood and his co-defendant's sister, testified that she saw the two men involved in a confrontation with Giants fans in the parking lot outside Dodger Stadium before they got in her car and told her to drive away. She testified under a grant of immunity, under which she cannot be prosecuted for providing a truthful account of what happened and any possible involvement on her part.
