Dodgers say Stow and his assailants partly responsible for beating

[RandySF]

In Dodgers owner Frank McCourt’s continuing bid to be named the most hated man in sports (nay, the world), the attorney representing him and the Dodgers have filed a civil complaint alleging that they are not at sole fault for the assault on Giants fan Bryan Stow.

The Stow family, who earlier filed a separate suit against the Dodgers, claims that the organization should take responsibility for the lax security environment which facilitated the Opening Day attack on Stow. McCourt and Co. are firing back by saying that the men arrested for the attack, Marvin Norwood and Louis Sanchez, should really be the target of the blame.

But here’s where it enters murkier territory.

Although the civil complaint puts most of the onus on Stow’s attackers, McCourt’s attorney Jerome Jackson also insinuated that Stow owns some of the blame. In an interview with ESPNLosAngeles.com, Jackson said that he’d “been doing these cases for 23 years and I have never seen one yet in which it didn’t take at least two people to tango.”
