Cop who punched woman on video: not guilty
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 RighteousTyrant: 2/27/2013 2:01:04 PMYou are factually incorrect where you state:[quote]The judge . . . stated ". . . 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."[/quote] Per the article you've linked, the DA said that, not the judge. [quote]In a statement released to media outlets, District Attorney Seth Williams said he will respect the judge's decision although he disagrees with it. "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," Williams wrote. [/quote] Verdict is bullshit, IMO. He doesn't seem very shocked when he proceeds to put her in cuffs. Seems like someone shocked about her going down would be much more concerned for her well being in the moments immediately after.
