Article Excerpt:

As Officer Jackson threw punches, his father tried to put his hands in front of his face, Espina Jacome said.

His father fell, and when he tried to get to his feet, Jackson took the metal police baton from his belt and struck Espina in the head, the face, and on his back and one of his legs, Espina Jacome testified.

Mooney asked whether Espina ever hit or tried to hit Jackson. "He couldn't do anything. How could he hit anyone, he couldn't even see," Espina Jacome testified. "He had no way of defending himself. [Jackson] was hitting my father very hard."

With one baton blow, Jackson knocked Espina down a set of stairs that led to the basement, Espina Jacome testified. Jackson continued striking Espina, and then the door to a basement apartment opened, Espina Jacome testified.
