a los angeles police chief on updating the investigation into bryan stow. he refused to release any information in how the line-up went last my. but there are reports that a witness took ramirez out of the line-up but the chief refused to comment other than to say that he remains the primary suspect. you see the picture of him oat left and on the right. what they released to the public. stow remains unconscious in critical but stable condition. he was transferred to san francisco general from los angeles.

two men came behind stow and beat him at dodger stadium. for the past two days, his attorney says ramirez was not at the game and as an alibi. >> ramirez is and was and has been our primary suspect on the stow beating. we continue down that road in our of presenting a case to the district attorney in the near future. but we will not present that case until we have looked at a number of things that are still examined. >> his attorney has said several witnesses will testify that his client was baby-sitting and will even take a polygraph to prove it. he says he was with his ten-year-old daughter and can prove that. >> bart directors are expected to approve a plan to ensure that

every officer has taser of their own. terry mcsweeney joins us live from bart headquarters in oakland. >> reporter: we came down from the bart boardroom where they unanimously approved 130 tasers. this is the meeting talking about the budget, billions of dollars, but this is $140,000 purchase that has been attract ago lot of attention. take a look. the directors voted unanimously to buy 130 more tasers in addition to the 60 that is available to officers that request them. they have been available to them since 2008. january 2009, johannes mehserle shoots and killed oscar grant at at fruitvale station. he testified he thought he was reaching for taser which he had just borrowed from another officer a couple hours before. making them carry them everyday

will reduce the threat of misuse according to the police chief. >> when you talk about safety equipment like a gun, a night stick or a taser, best practice is for individual officer to be equipped with them so they can have better familiarity with the piece of equipment. >> june of last year, there was more controversy about bart police officers and tasers. a bart cop fired a taser at a 13-year-old boy who was trying to get away from police on his bicycle. that is a violation of policy, tasers were pulled from the force for a while and officers were retrained and now they have been rearmed. it clears the way for all of them to have tasers with them at all times and it passed. >> kristen: also happening right now, state regulators gave the green light for a new plan for

energy users to pay more so the big energy users can pay less. >> an aye vote. this is going to mean probably about a 10% increase in most people's bills. that is a rough estimate at this point. what is interesting that no one spoke in favor of the changes because we don't use as much energy as kern county. the people need their air-conditioning. to cover the current rate structure those that use a lot of power are subsidizing those that don't. the gap keeps getting wider. currently those that use less pay less. that idea behind that was to encourage conservation. those that spoke out against the new rate structure are worried about the environment and those on a fixed income.

>> many people at this point are paying for food or medicine. >> we are supposed to be encouraging people to use less energy and to cut carbon emissions. you don't do that by raising the rates for using less you do it by rewarding them for using less. >> based on the vote, those that who use less we'll see a rate increase. the commissioners say you can argue the merits on this but this is how the majority of the country does it. pg&e hasn't commented yet. officials wanted to wait until the vote came down. it came down about five minutes ago and we'll have them later this afternoon. live in san francisco, amy hollyfield, "abc 7 news." >> san bruno neighbors are calling for a ban on fireworks

near the deadly explosion and fire. it killed 8 people in the glenview neighborhood. some residents it could be fuel for fireworks. san bruno is one of two cities that allows so-called safe and sane fireworks. fire officials say no ban is needed because it's already illegal to use them on vacant lots and open spaces. u.s. supreme court voted 5-3 to uphold an arizona law that imposes sanctions on illegal immigrants. it passed in 2007 and requires employers to verify the eligibility of new workers from a federal database. it does not reempty arizona from row veok go licenses in businesses. business interests and civil liberty groups and obama administration all oppose the

don't even agree. was eight good hit? >> no, i don't think so. they could have done something different. >> what do you think? >> well, i think it's baseball. at that point he made the decision to go through him. it's unfortunate but it's baseball. >> i think should should be able to go in like that. >> so it's her birthday, i don't want to create a stir. [ laughter ] >> reporter: but there is a scare at this point. the question is should baseball players be allowed to barge head irs or shoulder first or should they be only be required to go in feet first. there seems to be more injuries with famous collisions about players coming in head first.
