W3 i9 i2 Q# G去年爱城十大新闻之一的法院电梯惨案本周重新开庭。前几天传出有匿名证人指出死者Kyle事发前曾与看守警员有过冲突,曾听到过a series of bangs。这也正是为什么在事发当天一定要给Kyle带上手铐和脚链的原因。Kyle是被两个警卫押下法庭时,从五楼的电梯口摔下去的,suspended by his neck on a structural bracket,死相之惨耸人听闻。 ) Q, h1 u4 Y2 t3 @0 g 7 N& D3 H4 c- D) S+ B2 J# Y5 i, F0 ^, L; p9 p8 g, u2 f) o8 D

但后来的调查结果是警卫无责,法院认为没有足够证据charge anyone in connection with the death。当然激起了民愤,于是才有了一年后的重审,按理说这次抖出的许多料都于警方不利,但今天此案出现了一封mysterious letter,内容诡秘,调查组还在wrestled with whether to disclose it。辩方律师顺势要求审理暂停,称要搜集更多材料以应对这一突发事件。 / R: \8 x$ q3 D. E/ P, O; R9 Q' c& y5 k) E0 e/ w3 A
据说同一个电梯曾在事发两年前有过一摸一样的毛病,very little force 就会把电梯门打开。所以才会有了后来的故事,押解路上,Kyle was making verbal threats and trying to spit at the guards,警卫只好把Kyle顶着电梯门,opening them without the car there。事情的经过很简单,但当初法院的裁定是警员used a "modest" amount of restraint and followed normal procedures,死了算是白死。谁是谁非,现在还不好下结论。 3 i3 k/ e' i/ k& `" H7 l.
