Stow Beating Suspect's Daughter Insists Her Dad Couldn't Have Done It

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The LAPD is convinced they have their man. Giovanni Ramirez is their prime suspect in the beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow on opening day at Dodgers Stadium.

Tonight, for the first time since Ramirez was arrested almost two weeks ago, his nine-year-old daughter met with reporters and said she could provide her father an alibi.

She says her dad was no where near Dodger Stadium on opening day, or any other day for that matter.

His daughter said her father doesn't even like sports.

Friday evening, the little girl standing behind a phalanx of microphones spoke in a steady voice. She was accompanied by her mother who also maintains Giovanni Ramirez is telling the truth when he says he was not involved in the beating.

The girl and her mother have both been interrogated by police.

During the news conference, the daughter also said she was angry because she believes her father has been treated unfairly by police and media.
