From [HERE] and [HERE] A Prince George's County police officer pepper-sprayed an unresisting man, hit him with his fists and his metal police baton, threw him down a flight of stairs, then fatally shot him, according to witnesses who testified Thursday at a civil trial against the officer. Moments later, the officer swore at the victim's crying wife, according to testimony and a 911 recording.

The account of the fatal encounter was provided in Circuit Court in Prince George's County by witnesses for the family of Manuel de Jesus Espina, 43, who was shot to death by Cpl. Steven Jackson on Aug. 16, 2008. Espina's relatives have filed a wrongful death suit against Jackson and the county.

Espina was shot inside a basement apartment in Langley Park. Moments after the shooting, Espina's wife, Estela, entered the apartment and wailed over her dying husband as she cried out in Spanish, "Why did you kill my husband?"

Jackson screamed, "Shut the [expletiv] up! [Expletive] you!" The exchange was captured on the recording of a 911 call made to police by a witness. The tape was played in court for the jury on Thursday.
