Could the prosecutor reveal the officer's prior "use of force" problem to a G.J.?
We've all been schooled, both on this thread and by watching "Law and Order", and know that it couldn't be used in any trial, but how about G.J. proceedings?
Well, first...what problem are you talking about? A Grand Jury can hear anything, but it is not prudent to tell them anything that can't be sustained or is not the truth.
Pardon the question.
The 14 grand paid out to the victim of his heavy handedness is not a "problem", since he was not convicted of any wrongdoing.
We shouldn't believe those lyin' ass "commoners", you know. In L.A. County [I believe that's the jurisdiction I read about] over 1400 allegations of excessive force resulted in charges being filed in THREE cases.
It's REALLY hard to prosecute cops for anything they do on duty.
