DO not expect justice. The Jordan Miles trial is underway. The total jury pool had only 3 blacks. The eight person jury selected has only one black person; five are men and three are women. Apparently there are no Latino jurors. [MORE] Jordan claims undercover officers approached him without articulable suspicion. Officers chased him when he ran 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. He suffers from permanent brain damage. [MORE] A few days ago the police explained how Mountan Dew bottles resemble guns. This could only be reasonable to a racist mind.  and now this... From [HERE] It was Jordan Miles, not the three Pittsburgh officers who wielded a deadly weapon during a controversial 2010 arrest, a policing consultant testified at a civil trial today. "Mr. Miles had a handcuff on his one wrist that he had pulled away from the police officers and that was in fact a deadly weapon in and of itself," said Joseph Stine, a consultant who also works for Pennsylvania's police training agency and was Philadelphia's inspector in charge of training.

A hit with a loose handcuff can cause serious injury, he said. After Mr. Stine's testimony ended, the defense rested, ending testimony after nine days. Closing arguments are set for 9 a.m. Thursday.

Deliberations by the eight person jury are expected to start Thursday, U.S. District Chief Judge Gary Lancaster has said. The officers have said that while they were trying to arrest Mr. Miles, they got a cuff around his right wrist, but he pulled that arm under his body.

Mr. Miles' attorneys used Mr. Stine's time on the stand to read into the record portions of the deposition testimony of former city Officer David Horak, who arrived on the scene after the incident had ended.

"Mr. Miles was lying face down," Officer Horak said, according to the deposition read by attorney J. Kerrington Lewis. "You could see his hands were behind his back. ... He appeared to be handcuffed."
