OCEAN CITY — Trials began this week for four suspects arrested following a melee on the beach at North Division Street in July with testimony heard from several of the state’s witnesses, but the proceedings were continued until January when the defense will present its witnesses.
The four suspects in the July incident, including three men and one woman, who was nine months pregnant at the time and needed an emergency C-section following the near riot, appeared in District Court on Wednesday for the first day of their trials.
Throughout the day on Wednesday, prosecutors presented the testimony of several witnesses in support of the state’s case. However, in a somewhat unusual break from typical proceedings, the trials for the four defendants were stayed until January at which time the various defense attorneys will present their witnesses.

ReplyDeleteThe overzealous cops will get off. I've seen the video. There's no excuse for their actions, but there will be by the time this is over.

Excellent work officers controlling an obviously violent and disorderly crowd.
