A Prince George's County police officer who used his metal baton to hit a handcuffed suspect was acquitted of assault yesterday by jurors who watched a videotape of the incident and decided that the use of force was justified.
A camera in Addis's patrol car recorded Addis repeatedly kicking Bullock and striking him with the baton as other officers tried to handcuff him. The tape shows Addis hitting Bullock with the baton and kneeing him after he was handcuffed and on the ground.
..........juror Ed Oblas, 47, of Bowie, said outside the courthouse. And although Bullock was handcuffed, Oblas said, "he was not under control."
Another juror, Bob Holbrook, 46, of Landover Hills, said he believed Addis's testimony that Bullock was a threat. He said he thought the videotape showed Bullock to be out of control. "We were just concerned with what happened on the tape," he said.
Belsky, the defense attorney, said in his closing argument Wednesday that Addis's actions were in keeping with police procedure......
"Everything he did was perfect police training." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33391-2005Feb17.html
