Beating suspect crying in his cell

Per KFI's Eric Leonard, the attorney for Giovanni Ramirez says his client is crying in his cell and wants to take a polygraph to prove his innocence.

Wait a second! Crying? From a three-time convicted felon and documented gang member? Even if Ramirez escapes conviction, I'm calling bulls**t on the crying part.

Incidentally, the attorney who made this announcement is Anthony Brooklier. In an earlier TMZ story, Chip Matthews was reported as Ramirez' defense attorney. NBC LA now reports that Matthews is representing Ramirez' daughter, and not Ramirez.

One final note. A lineup has been scheduled for 6 pm this evening.
