Attorneys for Kyle Vinson said he remained hospitalized and faced "a long road" to recovery a day after the Aurora Police Department released a video of his alleged assault at the hands of officers.
Aurora officers John Haubert and Francine Martinez were on leave from the department as prosecutors mull formal charges. Haubert turned himself in on a warrant alleging crimes including assault. Martinez turned herself in on a warrant alleging she failed to intervene to stop the assault, a misdemeanor.
Police body camera video released Tuesday showed Haubert hitting Vinson with a pistol and choking him, as he shouts, "Help! Don't shoot me" and "I can't breathe, dude."
