TWO CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS FOUND NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES AND GIVEN AN AWARD OF FULL BACK-PAY
Two off-duty officers were accused of physically and verbally abusing a tow truck driver who had towed one of the officers' vehicles and also accused of giving false reports. We investigated the case, interviewed the necessary witnesses, and prepared an aggressive defense. The complaining witnesses were consistently impeached on cross-examination which proved to be the difference in this case. The Board determined that the complaining witnesses could not be believed due to their inconsistencies at the trial. In the end our planning, experience and performance resulted in the Board finding the officers not guilty on all charges and returned them to work with full back pay. 10-PB-2723 (2011)
