A man accusing a city police officer of beating him clammed up in the middle of his testimony yesterday, claiming he fears for his safety once the case concludes. “After this, what’s going to happen to me?” Peter Van Eck asked the Law Enforcement Review Board panel.
“Am I going to be a sitting duck? I don’t want to be nervous every time I see a squad car. Who’s going to protect me?”
The LERB is hearing a complaint filed by the Criminal Trial Lawyers Association on behalf of Van Eck and Ed Mahar, vendors employed by Our Voice magazine.
