Officer claims she didn't see Fiorentini get hit!


LATEST UPDATE - TWO CASES OF APPARENT PERJURY!

Abilene P.D. Officer Aron Bryan (female whose face injury is pictured) in court transcripts claims that she hit Fiorentini only in the kidney but didn't see or hear Officers Corntey Bailey or Officer Long ever strike Fiorentini.

Bailey alone claimed to have struck Fiorentini 7-10 times, but it was Officer Long that reportedly did the most damage to Fiorentini's face.



FIRST CASE OF APPARENT AGGRAVATED PERJURY

Court Transcripts - May 12, 2009 -Pg. 139, lines 8 -15: Attorney Sam MeHaffey questioning Officer Aron Bryan:

Q: Which part of his body were you hitting?
A: His right kidney area
Q: Did you ever hit any other part of his body besides his right kidney area?
A: No
Q: Did you see other officers striking Mr. Fiorentini?
A: I couldn't see.
Q: Is that a no?
A: That's a no.

Is our communtiy expected to believe that Officer Bryan isn't trying to coverup for fellow officers Bailey and Long? It appears to me from listening to the audio of the arrest and reading 195 pages of court transcripts and testimony, that this isn't the only case of aggravated perjury by officers testifying against Fiorentini.

In addition, court transcripts show that APD officers were told by Mrs. Fiorentini that Victor Fiorentini hadn't threatened her or her son physically, she simply reported that she was concerned that her husband was going to cut up her property with a chainsaw, which he never actually did. She asked police to standby while she and her son gathered some personal belongings.

The rumors that the police were called to a domestic and violent dispute are simply not true. This was simply meant to be a police standby while one resident gathered some personal property.

SECOND CASE OF APPARENT AGGRAVATED PERJURY

Officer Cortney Bailey testifying that she saw Victor Fiorentini strike Officer Aron Bryan. Court transcripts from May 12, pg 38, lines 20-25 and pg.39, lines 1-25 and pg.40, lines 1-3.

Q. And you saw that he hit her somewhere in the hairline?
A: Yes.
Q: Which --
A. I knew at that point that he hit her on the side of the head. It wasn't until later when there was injury, I mean, she had a knot, that we knew exactly where.
Q: But you could tell -- you saw the punch close enough that you could tell the general area that it impacted; right?
A: Yes...
Q: And you saw that punch, didn't you?
A: Yes.
Q. Because the punch is from right over here and you're right over here, and a hundred percent of your attention is on Mr. Fiorentini?
A. Actually by the time the punch happened, I was within probably I would say 5 to 7 feet because I began moving when he got up.
Q: Did he hit her with his right hand?
A: Yes, which was on my side.

Court transcripts - May 13, 2009 -Pg. 139, lines 8 -15: Attorney Sam MeHaffey questioning Officer Cortney Bailey after pointing out that Bailey has just contradicted her own account of the events, which was captured on audio the night of the arrest.

Q: Okay. A man says: Did he whap her pretty hard? And you say: I didn't see the actual hit. I didn't see him go up on her, but I mean, I knew -- I mean, I saw her try to get out of the way.
A: Uh-huh.
Q: Is that what you said?
A: I mean, it's pretty staticky, but that sounds about right. That's what I stated yesterday.
Q: So, you didn't say that he hit her --Mr. Fiorentini hit Officer Bryan with a closed fist?
A: He punched her. Unless there -- I mean, that, no, I did not see the actual fist. I said that yesterday. I didn't see the fist make contact with her head, but she had a knot, a knot right here in her hair.
Q: But you didn't see the closed fist actually make contact with her?
A: No, sir.
Q: And that's your testimony?
A: Yes, sir.

On May 12, Officer Bailey testifies that she saw Fiorentini strike Officer Bryan with his right hand but then reverses herself on May 13 when confronted with an audio of her admitting to never having seen Fiorentini strike Officer Bailey.

If Officer Bryan isn't perjuring herself, then she should be let go from the Abilene P.D. for being blind. How she could have not witnessed the beating of Victor Fiorentini is beyond me. By claiming she did not see the beating, she avoids being questioned on the witness stand about the details of Fiorentini's beating.

In my estimation, Officer Bailey's case is the most obvious case of aggravated perjury in that she clearly contradicts her testimony.

Question, why didn't the D.A.'s office charge Bailey with aggravated perjury when she reversed her fabricated story of seeing Fiorentini punch Officer Bryan with his right fist?
