SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 6 – Manuel Peralta had
finished his shift at a Bronx
deli when at 4 a.m. in front
of his building he was
assaulted then arrested by
undercover NYPD officers, he
says. He
sued.
On October 6 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Peralta says "it
is clear that the video of the
running body-worn camera was
destroyed, or cut off,
damaged, and purposely, to
spoliation of the evidence to
prevent access to the
court."
Judge Woods
inquired into the failure to
train allegation.
The case is
Peralta v. Vasquez et al.,
21-cv-605 (Woods)
