I realize this is a little late, but I just got around to watching this report from WKRN on last Friday's hearing in the Juana Villegas case. I was at the hearing and the best part by far was when Villegas’ attorney Elliot Ozment essentially pantsed the arresting officer—Berry Hill Police Sergeant Tim Coleman—in front of a packed courtroom and TV cameras. Coleman testified that he pulled Villegas over at one address, but the arrest citation stated a different location. Ozment honed in on this, thrashing the cop like pitbull on a T-bone. “Were you lying when you filled out this form?” Ozment practically yelled. “Or are you lying now in this courtroom?” As a result of the discrepancy, the reckless driving charge was dropped, though Villegas was found guilty of driving without insurance, a $10 fine. Back to the WKRN story (click video camera icon on right.) Amy Napier Viteri—who I think is one of the best immigration reporters in town—also got the chance to stump a Berry Hill official, this time Police Chief Robert Bennett.
