The tape also disproves the defense's assertion that his face was smashed in by falling on the ground. In reality, his head did not hit the ground; an officer had him in a headlock with stopped that from happening. Also, many of the injuries were on the right side of his face, but he fell on his left side.

I saw it. I'm just as appalled as the first time I saw it. I cannot believe that slimebag lawyer for the police can sit there and lie like that with a straight face.
