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.

NYC police officer convicted o
A city police officer was convicted of molesting women while responding to routine noise complaints and traffic violations.
Fernand Clerge was being held without bail after the jury rendered the verdict Monday in Brooklyn state Supreme Court, convicting him of sexual abuse and official misconduct.
Clerge, 40, was acquitted of the most serious charge, attempting to commit a criminal sexual act. He is already suspended from duty and could face a sentence of up to seven years in prison.
Clerge and his partner, Officer Charles McGeean, made women submit to searches that turned into unwanted groping, prosecutors said. McGeean, 39, pleaded guilty in March to sexual abuse and official misconduct. He is serving a sentence of three years' probation.
Two female victims were called by prosecutors to testify during the weeklong trial. One, a 37-year-old woman, said that the officers assaulted her after a traffic stop. She said Clerge tried to force her to perform oral sex, before restraining her and masturbating.
A defense lawyer, Paul P. Martin, challenged the accounts by the women, accusing them of lying about the attacks to establish the basis for lawsuits. He said one incident was consensual, the other fiction.
"You cannot convict this man," Martin told the jury, "based upon the testimony you heard on the witness stand."
