From Times Wire Reports
The first day of jury deliberations in the Abner Louima police brutality case ended without a verdict. The jury, which is deciding whether four police officers violated Louima’s civil rights by beating him or by covering up the crime, will return Monday to resume deliberations. Officer Charles Schwarz is accused of violating Louima’s civil rights by holding him down in a Brooklyn station house while Officer Justin Volpe sodomized him with a broom handle. Volpe pleaded guilty earlier in the trial. Three others are also charged in the case.
