An attorney for San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow has responded to comments made by a lawyer for the Los Angeles Dodgers who suggested Stow might be partly to blame for a brutal attack he received in a Dodger Stadium parking lot on opening day.

Thomas Girardi told the Los Angeles Times on Friday it was wrong for attorney Jerome Jackson to say Stow may have to share some of the blame for the attack.

"How you are judged in life is how you react after mistakes,” Girardi told the Times. “Oh, so here it is, let’s blame the innocent guy for the lack of security at Dodger Stadium. ... McCourt’s taken millions out of the Dodgers and he and his attorneys know the end is near.”

Jackson told ESPNLosAngeles.com that the Dodgers and their owner Frank McCourt shouldn't be held fully liable by a possible jury. The Stow family filed a lawsuit blaming the Dodgers organization and owner Frank McCourt for the attack.

Jackson filed a cross-complaint last week saying that the two men charged with beating Stow should be held liable.
