Police beating case that led t
MILWAUKEE -- Four police officers were part of a mob that brutally beat a man accused of stealing a badge that was never found, a federal prosecutor said Saturday in closing arguments in their trial.
Defense lawyers said witnesses who identified their clients were lying, drunk or couldn't remember correctly.
The four men are accused of violating the civil rights of Frank Jude Jr., 28, and friend Lovell Harris, 34, at a party for one of the officers in October 2004. Jude, who is biracial, and Harris, who is black, say they heard racial slurs from the group.
On trial are fired officers Jon Bartlett, 35, Andrew Spengler, 28, and Daniel Masarik, 27, and suspended officer Ryan Packard, 27. Bartlett, Spengler and Masarik were acquitted of nearly all state charges last year. Hundreds marched in protest.
