UPDATE: Ramirez Attorneys Work to Identify Videotape Evidence

Anthony Brooklier, attorney for Dodger beating suspect Giovanni Ramirez, is not returning calls to his cellphone from Echo Park Patch Tuesday morning, but his team, according to the Huffington Post, is busy scouring the area along Vermont Avenue just south of the 101 freeway for surveillance cameras.

They want to identify which ones may have filmed Ramirez with a full head of hair on April 1. This would support their claim that Ramirez simply does not fit the description of either of the suspects who beat giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium on March 31.

On Monday, according to City News Service, the Los Angeles Police Department stipulated before a judge that it would not destroy any video evidence it received or discovered in connection with the case.

Particularly crucial, police say, is videotape from a Comfort Inn on Vermont Avenue--as well as a nearby Shell station.

Ramirez said he stayed with his girlfriend at the hotel on April 1, the day after the Stow beating.

We'll have more on this story when we hear back from Brooklier.

Meantime, check out  the photos we took Monday of the surveillance cameras at the Comfort Inn. They're in the accompanying gallery.
