No charges against woman in Dodger beating

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Los Angeles prosecutors say they have no proof a woman knew her brother and boyfriend had beaten a Giants fan at Dodger stadium when she drove them home.

Prosecutors said Dorene Sanchez will not face criminal charges, the Los Angeles Times reported. She was arrested last month with Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood.

Bryan Stow, a Giants fan who wore a team shirt to the season-opening game between the San Francisco team and the Los Angeles Dodgers, was severely beaten in a parking lot after the game. He remained in a coma for weeks.

"There is no admissible evidence to establish that Ms. Sanchez had knowledge of the felony offense," the county prosecutors office said in a statement. "It is unclear that Ms. Sanchez could witness the assault in the parking lot."

Sources told the Times she cooperated with police and also reportedly testified before a grand jury.

Sanchez and Norwood are being held in lieu of $500,000 bail each. They both entered not guilty pleas Wednesday.
