SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni says no charges will be filed against any of the off-duty police officers accused of beating four men outside a Springfield bar in 2015.
Gulluni tells the Republican newspaper (https://bit.ly/2k6AmuZ ) that a lack of video evidence and an inability of the victims to positively identify their attackers led to the decision not to file charges.
The April 2015 fight happened after a confrontation at a bar between several off-duty officers and the four men.
Later, in the parking lot, the men say the off-duty officers badly beat them, including hitting one from behind with a baton and another with a Taser.
One suffered a broken leg, concussion and had teeth knocked out, but a police report described their injuries as “minor cuts and scrapes.”
