San Francisco 49ers first round draft pick Ricky Pearsall speaks at an NFL football news conference.
A 17-year-old has been arraigned on charges including attempted murder in the Saturday shooting of San Francisco 49ers player Ricky Pearsall.
After appearing in juvenile court Wednesday, the high school senior’s attorney told reporters the teen and his family were “genuinely very sorry” for the incident and that their thoughts went out to Pearsall and his family.
“There is genuine, genuine remorse in that regard,” Deputy Public Defender Bob Dunlap said, per The Associated Press. “He is a young boy.”
