Twenty-nine-year-old Louie Sanchez and 30-year-old Marvin Norwood appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Monday, but the proceeding was continued to Aug. 10.
Both are accused of mayhem and assault in the March 31 attack on 42-year-old paramedic Bryan Stow, who was beaten into a coma and remains hospitalized.
Los Angeles police had arrested another man as the prime suspect, but cleared him after the arrests of Norwood and Sanchez last Thursday.
