You might remember this from a while back. [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/26/jonathan-josey-not-guilty_n_2767703.html?utm_hp_ref=crime]Well, the cop had his day in court today[/url]. He claims he lunged at her to knock the bottle out of her hand after she refused to drop it, as he thought she threw beer at him even though the video shows someone else flicking something from a bottle.
The judge, who came to the no guilty verdict WITHOUT A JURY, seems to think the video "didn't tell the whole story", with a district attorney also stating, "Let's be clear there were no winners on that day in September. While I believe Jonathan Josey was guilty of simple assault this is not the time to dwell on that and I hope as a community we can move past this."
What bullshit.

Edited by Spartan Ken 15: 2/27/2013 12:28:43 PMI don't understand how he says "the video doesn't tell the entire story" yet is sure the girl " was guilty assault". Also from what I have seen, more and more judges have been hard on cops but cop have still getting away with this. I would try and go to a higher court.
