Judge: I Saw Police Commit Felonies
By Amy Driscoll
The Miami Herald
Saturday 20 December 2003
A judge presiding over the cases of free trade protesters said in court
that he saw ''no less than 20 felonies committed by police officers''
during the November demonstrations, adding to a chorus of complaints about
police conduct.
Judge Richard Margolius, 60, made the remarks in open court last week,
saying he was taken aback by what he witnessed while attending the protests.
''Pretty disgraceful what I saw with my own eyes. And I have always
supported the police during my entire career,'' he said, according to a
court transcript. ``This was a real eye-opener. A disgrace for the community.''
