Re: Guess what verdict the cop got

Once in a blue moon they have such overwhelming evidence that they let one go. Making them 'one bad apple' and patting themselves on the back for being so upright and responsible. (all the while ensuring they only get a lightweight sentence).

Alwyn Sawyer - a Southport sergeant who kicked and stamped on a drunken pensioner in custody in the late 80s, leaving him with fatal injuries and then denied anything to do with it until the forensics showed the bootprint on the chest matched Sawyer's - got 8 years.

Sergeant Kenneth Kitching and Inspector Geoffrey Ellerker, two Leeds coppers who had a violent racist campaign of violence against a homeless black man in Leeds in the 60s, got their charges of manslaughter dropped but still got several years each.

I'd kind of hoped that the evidence was so incontrovertible - really, go and look at the video - that this guy would have to go down too.

Sometimes I think I can be 'too cynical' about state powers; but now I'm not sure there's any such thing.
