: Dispatches from the Culture WarsAppeals Court Upholds Michigan Police Brutality Convictions
By Ed Brayton
The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the convictions of three Mt. Clemens police officers for perjury and obstruction of justice after an incident in which several officers held down and beat a man during a traffic stop and then conspired to cover up the truth about the incident. See full ruling here.
The case involves four Mt. Clemens police officers -- Patrick Carson, Robert Hey, Peter and Robert Jacquemain. According to the ruling, the incident occurred on July 27, 2002, when Hey, who was off-duty at the time, got into a road rage situation with another driver as both drivers tailgated and cut each other, braking abruptly. Hey then called into the police station and told them that the other driver, Robert Paxton, had tried to run him off the road.
