The attorney for a 17-year-old charged in the shooting of San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall argues that new video evidence suggests the incident was an attempted robbery rather than attempted murder. The shooting occurred on August 31 when the teenager allegedly tried to rob Pearsall at gunpoint, resulting in both being shot during a struggle. Pearsall was hospitalized but released the following day and returned to the team shortly after.

• The defense claims evidence supports a robbery charge rather than attempted murder.
• Pearsall was shot but has since recovered and returned to the team.
