Ontheair Dodger fans Louie San- chez and Marvin Norwood pleaded guilty in the attack after a lengthy preliminary hearing in which witnesses said security guards were absent from the parking lot where Stow was attacked. Noted personal injury lawyer Tom Girardi filed the lawsuit on behalf of Stow, seeking $37.5 mil- lion for his lifetime care and compensation for lost earnings. He also urged ju- rors to award double that figure for pain and suffer- ing. Dana Fox, the lawyer for the Dodgers and McCourt, argued that they bore no responsibility for the at- tack. In closing arguments, he showed jurors enlarged photos of Sanchez and Nor- wood and said they were responsible along with Stow himself. Fox cited testimony that Stow's blood-alcohol level was .18 percent — more than twice the legal limit for driving — and a wit- ness account of Stow yell- ing in the parking lot with his arms up in the air. "There were three par- ties responsible — Sanchez, Norwood and, unfortu- nately, Stow himself. There were things Mr. Stow did that put these things in ac- tion," Fox said. He added, "You don't get yourself this drunk and then say it's not your fault." Girardi contended the team and McCourt had failed to provide enough security to keep Stow and other fans safe at the game. "Dodger Stadium got to a place where it was a total mess," Girardi told jurors. "There was a culture of vi- olence. Beer sales were off the charts." He also said, "The only thing Bryan Stow was do- ing was wearing a jersey that said 'Giants.'" Fox insisted Stow should receive no damages. "We would be heartless and inhuman not to feel sympathy for Mr. Stow," Fox said. "These are life- altering injuries." However, he reminded jurors that they had prom- ised not to let sympathy in- fluence their verdict. Toward the end of the trial, Stow was brought to court in his wheelchair and positioned front and center where jurors could see the ghastly scars on his head where his skull was tem- porarily removed during medical efforts to save his life. Experts testified that Stow will never work again and has suffered repeated strokes and seizures. They said he will always require around the clock care. Stow FROM PAGE 1 What they couldn't fore- see was the rain, which slickened roads and unset- tled many rider nerves — and psychology was crucial to surviving the stage. Be- fore Froome crashed, Sky sporting director Nicolas Portal said it best: "His wrist hurts a bit, but it'll be a question of mental as well today," according to the Tour's Web site. Before the stage, Froome hadsaidthatthebiggestcon- cern about the cobblestones wasnotridingoverthem,but the nervousness of the pelo- ton as riders jockey to get up front, which is considered the safest place to be. Froome didn't speak to reporters after his second spill on the day at around the halfway mark. Wincing and limping, he shook his head at a Team Sky staffer, walked over to a team car, and climbed in. The team said later that he was al- ready on his way home. On Twitter, he wrote that he was "devastated" to withdraw: "Injured wrist and tough conditions made controlling my bike near to impossible." Froome wished luck to new Sky leader Richie Porte of Australia and his other teammates for the rest of the race. Sensing the danger from the rain, race organizers scrapped two of the nine scheduled cobblestone patches, and reduced the stage by three kilometers (two miles). But that still wasn't enough to stop many riders from tumbling. "It's devastating for Chris and for the team," Sky boss Dave Brailsford said. "We really believed in Chris and his ability to win this race. But it's not to be this year." The last time a defend- ing champion abandoned the Tour was five-time winner Bernard Hinault of France in 1980, accord- ing to French cycling sta- tistics provider Velobs.com. The withdrawal of the pre-race favorite left the Tour wide open with 16 stages still left. Overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy wasted lit- tle time in speeding ahead, notably after he saw that his other big rival for the title this year — two-time champion Alberto Conta- dor — had trouble on the second run on cobbles. Nibali, too, was one of several high-profile rid- ers who crashed, recov- ered and excelled on the 152.5-kilometer (95-mile) route. The Italian fin- ished third and extended his lead. He and second- place Jakob Fuglsang of Denmark were 19 seconds behind stage winner Lars Boom of the Netherlands. "This is a special, spe- cial day for me," said Boom, who rides for Belkin Pro Cycling. "I was really look- ing forward to the cobble- stones." Tour FROM PAGE 1 It was the second straight penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw for the Dutch. Against Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, coach Louis van Gaal brought on substitute goal- keeper Tim Krul in the last seconds of extra time to re- place Jasper Cillessen and Krul saved two spot kicks. This time, Van Gaal had used up all three substitu- tions by the end of extra time and Cillessen had to face the shootout. Van Gaal said he would have made the same keeper swap if he'd had a substitution left. The young Ajax goal- keeper got a hand to Ro- driguez's decisive powerful shot, but could only deflect it into the roof of the net, and then collapsed onto his knees and sank onto his back. Krul walked across the pitch to console him. Van Gaal said he even had a hand in Romero's heroics, having trained him at AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch league. "Penalties are always a matterofluck,"hesaid."And ItaughtRomerohowtostop penalties so that hurts." Many of Argentina's players stripped off their shirts in the rain at the Itaquerao Stadium and danced in front of their fans. Argentina reached its fifth final, and its first in 24 years. It won the title in 1978 — beating the Dutch — and in 1986. It lost the championship matches in 1930 and 1990. It played West Germany in both the '86 and '90 finals. The Netherlands, which has never won the World Cup, was seeking to reach its fourth final. The tournament's sec- ond semifinal had been billed as a showdown be- tween Messi and Arjen Robben, but both star drib- blers were subdued. In- stead it was midfield con- trollers Nigel de Jong and Javier Mascherano who stood out as both sides' de- fenses marked two of the World Cup's biggest stars out of the game. When Robben finally broke free in stoppage time, Mascherano's perfectly timed sliding tackle blocked his shot at the near post. De Jong, who recov- ered from a groin injury to start, lasted just over an hour before being re- placed by Feyenoord mid- fielder Jordy Clasie, who made his World Cup debut. After scoring 10 goals in three group matches, the Dutch scoring dried up in the knockout rounds. The team managed two late strikes against Mexico but failed to find the net before eliminating Costa Rica in the quarterfinal shootout. "The issue in a cham- pionship like this one is that you score one more goal than your opponent, which we didn't do," Van Gaal said, "We didn't cre- ate very much." Argentina also has found goals hard to come by in Brazil, not winning any of its matches by more than a one-goal margin and re- cording back-to-back 1-0 wins over Switzerland and Belgium in the knockout stages. The two sides' attacking impotence was highlighted by a 73rd-minute free kick by Messi from the right corner that sailed over ev- erybody and out of play. Finals FROM PAGE 1 Only a few fans were waiting for the national team at its training camp outside Rio de Janeiro early Tuesday, including one who carried a banner reading "Shame." Some fans booed as the bus car- rying the squad left Rio's airport. "We have to be pro- fessional and we have to show our character," mid- fielder Fernandinho said. "We need to get through these three days and play well on Saturday to try to finish third." Scolari said it's important to put into perspective Tues- day'sloss,theteam'sworstin its 100-year history, match- ing the margin of a 6-0 de- feat to Uruguay in 1920. "Because of the score and the high number of goals, we know the loss will go down in history," Scolari said. "But it also has to go down in history that it's the first time since 2002 that we made it to the semifinals. Our work wasn't bad, it was just a bad loss." Scolari blamed a "six- minute disaster" in which Germany scored four goals in the first half. The 2002 World Cup- winning coach returned to the command of the Bra- zilian national squad late in 2012. In 28 matches, he won 19, drew six and lost three, including Tuesday's match. Scolari is not expected to remain as Brazil coach, but he said that any deci- sion about his future won't be made until after the tournament. "Our commitment is valid until the end of the World Cup," he said, add- ing that after the tourna- ment "we will probably talk to the directors of the (Brazilian football confed- eration), give them a report of what was done and how it was done, and then a de- cision will be made." "The president of the CBF will decide what is go- ing to happen."
