Ruling in brutality
case delivered
d “Bulk
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge
has ruled that the city of
Inglewood can take disciplinary
action against two police officers
involved in the videotaped beat
ing of a handcuffed teenager
during an arrest.
Officers Bijan Darvish and
Antoine Crook could face a short
suspension and a written repri
mand for their role in the July 6
arhESt of Donovan Jackson, said
their attorney, Cory Glave.
He said he has not decided
whe ther to appeal Tuesday's rul
ing.
Amateur video shows fellow
officer Jeremy Morse slamming
the teen's head down on a
police car and punching him in
the jaw. Morse has pleaded
innocent to an assault charge.
Crook is still on duty with the
Inglewood Police Department
and Darvish is on administrative
leave, their attorney said.
Darvish pleaded innocent July
18[ to charges of filing a false
police report following the beat
ing and is free on $25,000 bond.
The officers' attorneys previ
ously filed motions to dismiss
the charges, arguing there were
flaws in the grand jury indict
ment. A judge delayed a hearing
until Oct. 31 so prosecutors can
respond.
