Bryan Stow Beating Suspect Takes Lie-Detector Test, Attorneys Mum

The attorneys for Giovanni Ramirez aren't commenting after City News Service and other outlets confirmed that their client took a lie-detector test Wednesday.

The suspect in the opening-day beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow arrived at Parker Center in the early afternoon for the test.

`We think 100 percent our client is innocent," said Anthony Brooklier, an attorney for Ramirez before the test. "He didn't beat Bryan Stow and he wasn't at Dodger Stadium. He's never been to Dodger Stadium."

He and other defense attorneys have come up with a list of people who will testify to that effect.

Ramirez has not been charged with the attack, but remains jailed for allegedly violating his parole.

José Romero, another defense attorney, said he didn't feel that prosecutors' decision to file charges would not be determined only by the results of  the lie-detector test.

Romero also told KPCC's Larry Mantle in an interview that his firm had made an agreement with the District Attorney not to comment on the results of the polygraph test.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said last week he was confident they had arrested the right man.

On Tuesday, KCAL-9 reported that Ramirez may be under investigation for attempted murder in Henderson, Nevada. Ramirez's attorneys said they were looking into that allegation.

A previous version of this story paraphrased Attorney Romero as saying that the decision to file charges would not be influenced by the results of the lie detector test.
