A man charged with spitting on a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was
acquitted of battery this week after his defense attorney produced video footage
that jurors said contradicted testimony by deputies.
Several jurors said
after the trial that deputies gave conflicting accounts of the October 2010
arrest of Steven Sartori and that the video did not show one of the deputies
wiping away spit as she testified she had.
The video, they said, also
showed the deputies using more force than they acknowledged on the
stand.
"When we saw the video, it was completely inconsistent with what
the deputies said," said Sarah Valdez of Torrance, who works as a restaurant
server. "I'm not going to say they should lose their jobs, but something should
be done." More
