Prosecutors Rest Case in Sean Bell Killing Trial

HeadlineApr 03, 2008

And here in New York, prosecutors rested their case Wednesday in the trial of three police officers accused of killing Sean Bell. The unarmed Bell died on his wedding day in a hail of fifty police bullets. For its last witness, prosecutors called the emergency room surgeon who treated Bell’s friend, Joseph Guzman, who was shot sixteen times. The surgeon, Dr. Albert Cooper, said Guzman nearly died from several intestinal wounds. Defense attorneys for the officers begin presenting their case today.
