Jury can’t decide if cop who destroyed woman’s eyeballs with pepper spray should go to prison
A judge declared a hung-jury mistrial Tuesday in the case of a former southern California police officer who blinded a woman when he fired a blast of pepper spray into her face.
Prosecutors said 38-year-old Enoch “Jeremy” Clark became “annoyed” when 32-year-old Monique Hernandez resisted his attempts Feb. 21, 2012, to place her in handcuffs.
Clark fired a JPX gunpowder-propelled gun, which discharges chemical irritant at 400 mph, just 10 inches away from the woman’s face while arresting her for misdemeanor driving under the influence, authorities said.

If I were on the jury, I would think this is a no-brainer. Over-the-top cop takes the sight of another person. GUILTY as CHARGED. Fire that ass hat cop at once, he's a detrimental, unstable bully. |
