Alan C. Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Philly Officer Who Hit Woman At Parade Acquitted A former Philadelphia police lieutenant who was videotaped punching a woman after a Puerto Rican Day parade was acquitted of simple assault Tuesday, two weeks after a judge heard testimony from the officer in which he said he had been trying to knock a bottle from her hand. . . . Video shows 39-year-old Aida Guzman being struck in the face and falling to the ground, her face bloodied, and then being led away in handcuffs. Josey, a veteran supervisor, was later fired. At a one-day, nonjury trial before Dugan earlier this month, Josey testified he thought Guzman had thrown beer on him. He said he told her to put down the bottle and then swung in an attempt to knock it from her hand. Guzman has said she didn't throw any liquid, but she did shoot aerosol string into the crowd. That's why it's called the Just Us system. [view:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qJblw-JWdQ:640:390]
