Officers acquitted of beating
Continued from Page 1
The national leader of the
NAACP, Benjamin Hooks, also
denounced the verdict as
"outrageous, a mockery of
justice," but he appealed to blacks
that "the decision be met with
calmness."
The jury acquitted the officers
of the more serious assault charge
and secondary charges, but
deadlocked on one count of
excessive force against Officer
Laurence Powell.
A hearing was scheduled for
May 15 to decide whether to
prosecute Powell on the
undecided count.
The jury said it cast four guilty
votes and eight innocent votes in
the excessive-force count against
Powell after three days of
deliberation on that count alone.
The officers could have faced
four to 71/2 years in prison if
convicted on all charges.
After the verdict, the
defendants hugged relatives,
shook hands with attorneys and
slapped each other on the back.
Black community reaction was
stunned disbelief.
"I grieve for America," said
Rose Brown, 43, of Los Angeles
who came to the courthouse for
the verdicts. "I think thi§ is
appalling."
George Holliday, the civilian
witness who videotaped the
beating with his camcorder, "has
a difficult time reconciling how
his tape could have been so
important when the four officers
just got found not guilty," said
Daryl Gates, L.A. police chief during,
was forced to resign. Gates and other
city authorities allocated $1 million to
quell possible riots at not-guilty verdict.

The trial lasted nearly three
months in a case that strained race
relations in Los Angeles and
forced the resignation
announcement of police Chief
Daryl Gates.
The jury deadlocked on a
charge against Officer Laurence
Powell of using excessive force.
Powell, 29 and the others —
Sgt. Stacey Koon, 41, and officers
Timothy Wind, 32, Theodore
Briseno, 39 — were acquitted of
all others.
They were charged with
assault with a deadly weapon and
excessive force by an officer under

justice,'' but he appealed to blacks that
“the decision be met with calmness.’’
color of authority. Koon and
Powell also were charged with
filing a false police report, and
Koon with being an accessory
after the fact.
Wind, a probationary officer,
was fired after the indictments;
the others were suspended.
Gates and some other Los
Angeles authorities feared that
acquittals might spark unrest.
Police had earmarked $1 million
in overtime in case. Black leaders,
who spent weeks appealing for
calm, denounced Gates' plan as
inflammatory.
Train, truck collision kills 1
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) -
An Amtrak train derailed
Wednesday morning after collid
ing with a truck at a crossing,
killing the truck driver and injur
ing 53 of the roughly 96 people
aboard, authorities said.
The Colonial, bound for New
York, slammed into a dump truck
loaded with sand 10 minutes after
leaving the Newport News sta
tion. The crash occurred at an in
tersection that was marked with
warning signs but no gates, bells
or flashing lights.
"It was a big chug like and the
train started screeching," said pas
senger Marcel ina Morales of New
York, who suffered minor injuries.
"Then all of a sudden it started
turning over, turning over. We
thought it would never stop."
Several cars on the train over
turned, but it appeared that they
only turned once onto their side
and did not continue to roll.
Fire Investigator M.F. Champ
said the truck driver was killed
and 53 people on the train were
injured. Five hospitals reported
treating 49 people, most for minor
injuries.
Police Lt. Carl Burt identified
the truck driver as Sam L. Chan
dler, 61, of Gloucester. He worked
for the Sears Concrete Corp. of
Gloucester, Burt said.
Amtrak spokesman Cliff Black
said ticket listing showed the train
was carrying 92 passengers, but
the actual number could have
been a few more or less. There
were four crewmembers.
Burt said speed recorders on
the locomotive showed that the
train was traveling at its autho
rized speed of 79 mph.
The train consisted of an engine
and five passengers cars, all of
which derailed. Three cars were
on their sides, two were upright
and the engine was in a ravine.
The impact sheared the truck in
half, Burt said.
"It was just a quick, sharp
bang," said Kevin Hayes, who
was on one of the cars that flipped
on its side. "Everybody tumbled
over." Hayes was not injured.
"I felt a jolt and then we just
started rocking," said Percy Black
of New York, who also wasn't in
jury.
Danny Terry of Newport News
said he was on his way to a mall
to get his glasses repaired and
passed by soon after the accident.
"It was really bad, cars every
where, debris everywhere, dirt
and trees pushed up, lots of peo
ple running to see what was going
on," Terry said. He said he saw
people climbing out the windows
of the train.
