Beating Trial of LAPD Officer Begun, Then Delayed By “Peace Officer's Bill of Rights”
The case of People v. Mary O’Callaghan began in a Los Angeles courtroom last Wed., Feb. 25, but was halted and delayed till April 2 as the court moved to hear new evidence in the case. Approximately 50-60 perspective jurors who had been sworn in were dismissed.
Mary O’Callaghan is the LAPD officer who kicked/stomped 33-year old Alesia Thomas seven times in the groin/vaginal area in July of 2012. She was charged with Abuse Under Color of Authority by the L.A. County District Attorney’s office after a recommendation from an internal LAPD hearing. If convicted O’Callaghan could face a maximum of one year in county jail and/or a fine of $10,000 if convicted.
At issue appears to be statements made by an unidentified police officer to O’Callaghan on the night Alesia Thomas was arrested: that the officer told O’Callaghan to “stop it; cut it out.” Complete article
