Cop Tased Him… Then Admitted He Punched Him 5 TIMES ($450K Lawsuit)

Cop Tased Him… Then Admitted He Punched Him 5 TIMES ($450K Lawsuit) Today's case examines the trial of Michael Amiott, a former police officer in Euclid, Ohio. In August 2017, Amiott stopped Richard Hubbard over a red-light violation. Hubbard initially cooperated with the officer—providing his identification, answering questions, and following instructions to step out of his vehicle. Moments later, however, the encounter escalated, and Hubbard ended up on the ground. Hubbard was charged with resisting arrest, but those charges ultimately did not hold. Amiott was later fired from the department, although an arbitrator eventually ordered that he be reinstated. During his criminal trial, Amiott testified in his own defense. But the prosecution took his account back to the video, examining the encounter frame by frame. As the footage was compared with his testimony, key parts of his story appeared increasingly difficult to reconcile with what the camera showed. The jury ultimately found Amiott guilty of assault and of violating Hubbard's civil rights.
