Assaulted U-Md. student's attorney says county agreed to settlement "That's an aspect of this case that the jury didn't hear," Griffiths said. The police decided to take the gloves off, and they were making examples of students, and there were acts of police brutality and police misconduct in various areas at various times, and none were as well documented as McKenna. Spokesmen for the county state's attorney's office and the police department said Saturday that they had forwarded a reporter's request for comment about the civil settlements and Griffith's allegations to their bosses and others, and would respond later. They did not call back with a response. On Friday - after a weeklong trial and nearly seven hours of deliberation - Prince George's County jurors found Officer Reginald Baker not guilty of second-degree assault and misconduct in office in connection with McKenna's beating, but they convicted Officer James Harrison Jr. of second-degree assault. Both officers were caught on videotape striking McKenna with their batons after forcing him to the ground during a celebration following the University of Maryland's basketball victory over Duke in March 2010. Prosecutors said both men used excessive force, then tried to cover up their actions until video footage emerged. Defense attorneys argued the officers acted reasonably in subduing a man who they saw charging toward them, fists clenched and arms flailing. They asked jurors not to hold the officers criminally responsible for a mere four seconds of force during a riot. Griffiths said he was "disappointed with the verdict," and he was also disappointed more people were not charged for other incidents. "It wasn't explored in this trial, but it's clear that supervisors and commanders were complicit in the misconduct that night," Griffiths said. I think if a jury knew that, they would look at the assault on McKenna in a different light. From what jurors saw, though, they seemed to agree that Baker acted reasonably. The video shows he drove McKenna to the ground with his riot shield, then he and Harrison began swinging their batons at the student. A prosecution expert testified that the use of the riot shield was reasonable because McKenna was acting unlawfully in approaching a police riot line, but striking him while he was on the ground was excessive. After the verdict, Harrison and his attorneys declined to comment. Baker's attorney said his client hopes to return to work as a police officer. Both Baker and Harrison remain suspended with pay from the police department while officials complete administrative procedures to determine their future employment status, county police Chief Mark Magaw said after the verdict. Harrison, who remains out on bond, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison at his Dec. 14 sentencing. Magaw has said that commanders implemented new policies and procedures to prevent a repeat of the incident. He said those deployed to such incidents are now required to have ID numbers clearly printed on their helmets so they can be easily identified, and internal affairs investigators now go out with civil disturbance units assigned to university events.
