In shooting of 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall, teen suspect's lawyer urges lesser charge
Briefly

Deputy Public Defender Bob Dunlap asserted, 'It supports what's always been my belief and theory in this case, that this is an attempted robbery, not an attempted murder.'
The footage shared by the defense indicates a struggle, and the attorney argued, 'it was a rather extended struggle between the two, with Pearsall getting the better of the teen.'
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said, 'We need time to investigate further and, if appropriate, petition the court to transfer the case to adult court.'
