the commitment is high that we're going to keep the community safe, every community in san francisco safe. >> three, two, one -- >> mayor lee was in the district for a groundbreaking ceremony. we want to bring you to los angeles for the live press conference regarding the bryan stow case. >> let's take you to the podium, los angeles mayor antoniovi villaraigosa addressing the public. >> our thoughts and prayers remain with bryan stow and his family during this very, very difficult time. i understand that he made some eye movement today, and every day is a miracle for bryan stow and his family, and our hearts and prayers and everything we've done since the brutal attack on

mr. stow has been develop that in mine. from the very beginning of this tragic incident, the los angeles police department has exhausted each and every avenue of interest and search of the perpetrators this crime. the bryan stow case has been given paramount attention, and i am proud of the job our detectives have done, the men and women of this department have done to pursue every lead and utilize every single resource at their disposal. like every case, it's been an ongoing investigation. and with new, credible information, the case changed course and took a new path. today thanks to thousands -- literally thousands of hours of investigative work, the hard

work of an elite, competent group of investigators, we can announce the arrest of suspects in this case. the process has worked. chief beck will provide you an update. i want to assure you that the best of the best at the lapd have been tasked at working on this case. i have every confidence in them and in this department that justice will prevail and the individuals responsible for this senseless act of violence against an innocent man will be brought to justice. so i'd like to ask the chief to share with you a few words, as well. >> good afternoon. in policing, it is just as important to exonerate the innocent as it is to implicate the guilty. this is not just a phrase.

these are words that define the character of the los angeles police department. today we are here to announce the arrest of three suspect in the brutal beating of bryan stow. but just ads importantly, i want to -- just as importantly, i want to tell the world that giovanni ramirez is no longer a suspect in this case. the initial evidence and identifications which led to his arrest have been refuted by an investigation that has involved dozens of detectives working seven days a week over thousands of hours. they investigated more than 850 clues and interviewed over 600 people. we have tirelessly pursued the truth wherever it led us and without prejudice to the outcome. just as i demands that we do. yesterday, based on evidence developed by detective assigned to robbery/homicide division and

northeast area, three people were taken into custody. luis sanchez, age 29, marvin norwood, age 30, and doreen sanchez, age 31. and just several minutes ago, the district attorney filed multiple charges against luis sanchez and marvin norwood, including mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon. they are being held on $500,000 bail. charges against doreen sanchez are still pending. the investigation into these three individuals is still ongoing. and no further details can be released at this time. i ask that you respect the process and request that no photos of the three individuals be released as this could compromise the hard work of my detectives. i hope to have further details to give you as early as monday. until then, keep in mind that i cannot try this case in the media, and that our goal is to find justice for bryan stow.

thank you. >> with that, we'd be more than happy to answer a few questions. >> chief, i know it's been difficult for you to have -- how do you explain the layer? >> dave, there are multiple layers of proof required in our criminal justice system. i think everybody understands that or should understand that. and the burden of proof required for an arrest is much different than one required for prosecution, much less a conviction. we met that burden of proof when we arrested giovanni the first time. and that proof was not only born out by the detectives but by the judge that signed the arrest warrant and the search warrant. but that's what this process is all about. the process allows police officers to use a lower burden of proof in order to make an arrest, and then follow up with investigation to prove that arrest. and that's what happened here. i put an incredible amount of resources, which i described to you, in this because as i said, to me, it's just as important

that we find out the innocent as we find the guilty. >> chief, does this remain primarily a visual identification case? and if so -- >> you've been listening to a live press conference from the l.a. police department. the chief just speaking right now, answering questions, and the mayor also speaking about the three arrest in the bryan stow case. >> plenty of answers they've given, but still a lot of questions. antonio villaraigosa, the los angeles mayor, said there were thousands upon thousands of leads, and they changed the course of this investigation and took a new path which led to the arrest yesterday of three people, two men in their late 20s, actually 29, 30, and 31, and a woman. the two men, the charges have been filed for mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon. that's the los angeles police chief we were just listening to in addition to the mayor of l.a. >> they're not giving a lot of answers right now. they don't even want to release any suspect pictures but say they are going to be gathering more information over the weekend and will release more information on monday. >> and chief beck was clear to say they want to exonerate giovanni ramirez who is no

longer a suspect. we will check back into los angeles as it warrants throughout this newscast and ahead at 6:00, as well. we have more news now on this friday afternoon. it's a monumental decision in washington, d.c., which serves as a victory for so many people here in the bay area. a ban on gays serving openly in the military has been overturned. president obama formally repealed the 17-year-old don't ask, don't tell policy. it means the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military can be removed without affecting military ready not or status. it makes good on president obama's promise to dismantle the clinton-era policy. the repeal will go into effect on september 20. following today's announcement, democratic leader nancy pelosi released this statement, and it reads, "when the repeal of don't ask, don't tell is complete, we will send a clear message to every american, anyone with the courage to wear our nation's uniform will be judged not by whom they love, but by their skill, ability, and love of
