Gardener Julio Lopez's attorney tells us he wants his day in court and for a jury to decide the case. 'Maybe they shouldn't have been drinking a beer there. But that wasn't conduct that in any way justified the level of violence that these officers inflicted on him.'
"Julio's rights were violated in a very violent way. Going back to the founding of our country, and the Bill of Rights, we all have the right against excessive force, unreasonable searches and seizures that comes from the Fourth Amendment."
Label represents Lopez and his wife. Lopez had wrapped a long day of gardening when he stopped for a beer along Windward Way with two relatives with whom he works. The officers arrive, ask for his ID, and when he stands to retrieve it from his front pocket, they take him down.Lopez:Medical records show Lopez suffered a broken nose, a concussion, and a shoulder injury that required surgery.
His wife, Yesenia Cruz, said the ordeal has changed Julio: "He's not the same. He has no like the same confidence as before. He tried to be the same because he's a man that loves his family."
