the streets. from a prosecutor standpoint, mr. parks how would you prove that the injury took place and was inflicted by police officers? i mean proving that even with the videotape is still going to be pretty hard if they all have the same testimony, isn t it? not necessarily. i ve had similar cases to this. where a person has suffered an injury on takedown. you will detect whether or not there is bruising to some part of his neck or head, that may have had a shifting effect that would have caused this type of injury. so right now, we don t have any of the medical records. you don t know about any bruising to the head, to the neck euro to the upper part of the torso. so once you learn that information, you ll learn more about the mechanism of the injury. once you got the mechanism of the injury there are folks who
