From [HERE] As the second week of a Homewood man's civil rights trial against three Pittsburgh police officers began, jurors heard a video deposition Monday from the emergency room physician who treated Jordan Miles shortly after his January 2010 arrest. Dr. Joshua Fenton testified that Miles had multiple bruises and abrasions on his head, abdomen and hips. "He did have evidence of a blunt-force injury or trauma," Fenton said.

A medical test didn't find any "acute inner cranial injury," but that doesn't mean that Miles didn't suffer a concussion, Fenton testified. Miles, 20, who is black, claims in a federal lawsuit that officers Michael Saldutte, David Sisak and Richard Ewing -- who are white -- approached him in when he was walking near his house, without cause. Officers chased him and  when they caught up with him they beat him into submission by delivering violent blows that left his face swollen and distorted. Police also used a stun gun and pulled out a chunk of his hair. The officers put him in handcuffs, and repeatedly shoved his face into the snow, causing a piece of wood to impale his gums, He is 5-foot-6 and 150 pounds and was unarmed. Police falsely arrested and then maliciously prosecuted him on charges that a district judge later dismissed.
