From [HERE] A Pittsburgh woman testified that three white plainclothes police officers did not ask whether she knew a young black man or whether he had permission to be on her property the night the man claims he was wrongly arrested and beaten by the officers. Monica Wooding's testimony came Tuesday in the federal civil rights trial of a lawsuit against the officers by 20-year-old Jordan Miles.

"I wasn't asked that," Wooding testified, explaining she knew Miles and his family well.

One of the officers had previously testified at a hearing on Miles' criminal charges that police held a flashlight up to Miles' face that night before Wooding denied knowing him or giving him permission to be on her property.

But Wooding said she's sure that never happened because a police wagon — which she learned days later held Miles — was driving away by the time she opened her upstairs bedroom window to ask police about the commotion in her front yard.
