APP AND KCRA DOT COM. THE TRACY 17 YEAR OLD, ACCUSED OF SHOOTING A SAN FRANCISCO 40 NINERS PLAYER, WAS IN JUVENILE COURT TODAY. HIS ATATTORNEY SAYS THE TEEN DID NOT KNOW WHO RICKY PEARSALL WAS BEFORE THE SHOOTING. PROSECUTORS SAY THE SUSPECT SHOT PEARSALL IN THE CHEST SATURDAY IN SAN FRANCISCO'S UNION SQUARE WHILE TRYING TO STEAL HIS WATCH. PEARSALL WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL THE NEXT DAY. THE SUSPECT IS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER, ROBBERY AND ASSAULT. HIS IDENTITY HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED, BUT WE KNOW HE'S A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR FROM TRACY. HIS PARENTS WERE REPORTEDLY IN THE COURTROOM TODAY. WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S VERY HE'S VERY SORRY, GENUINELY, THAT THIS DID HAPPEN, AS IS HIS FAMILY.

SAN FRANCISCO DA HAS NOT DECIDED WHETHER TO TRY THE TEEN AS AN ADULT YET. CALIFORNIA LAW PREVENTS PROSECUTORS FROM CHARGING A MINOR AS AN ADULT WITHOUT JUDICIAL APPROVAL, SO
