City of Syracuse, Police, and Movie Theater to Face Trial in Beat Down of 13 Year Old Black Girl

March 20, 2005/ Tron Nick

The City of Syracuse, individual police officers, the Hoyts Movie Theater and its former manager will be put on trial. The parties are accused of beating and falsely arresting a 13-year-old African-American girl back in 2000. Tuesday, a federal court judge ruled 13-year-old Brianne George could proceed to trial with her claims. The girl — now 17 — says Detectives James Quatrone and Robert Teater wrongly accused her of stealing a bag of candy in September 2000 at a Hoyts movie theater at the Carousel Center mall in Syracuse. While she was in line at the theater waiting to buy candy, she was approached by the manager and the officers who grabbed her from behind, slammed her into a video game machine, hogtied her and dragged her into an elevator. She says they also used racial slurs against her. [more] and [more]
