NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo faces departmental trial for alleged chokehold death of Eric Garner.
A week-long departmental trial for Daniel Pantaleo, the New York police officer who put Eric Garner in an alleged unauthorized chokehold that led to his death nearly five years ago on Staten Island, is underway.
"Mr. Garner is dead because Daniel Pantaleo used a strictly, prohibited chokehold that NYPD unequivocally banned and was trained to never do...a death sentence over loose cigarettes," said Jonathan Fogle, an attorney for the Civilian Complaint Review Board, during his opening statement on Monday."Commissioner, it's an outrage that Mr. Garner is not alive today."
Almost 90 seconds into the interaction between Garner, Pantaleo and his partner, Officer Justin D'Amico, Orta began recording on his cell phone. London said that his client used a takedown method called a"seatbelt" -- not a chokehold -- to maneuver Garner to the pavement. The video of Garner’s death was played in the courtroom. As Garner began repeating “I can’t breathe” -- which he said 11 times in total -- his mother Gwen Carr and sister Elisha Garner began to audibly cry.
