The trial of a Zurich city police officer began in the Zurich High Court on Thursday morning. He is accused of endangering life after a dark-skinned man was seriously injured during a body check in 2009.
A policewoman and a police officer who were also involved in the stop have now been legally acquitted. The lawyer for the private plaintiff Wilson A. requested - not for the first time in the proceedings - that the two acquitted police officers should now be called as witnesses. This would require them to testify against their former superior.
Wilson A.'s lawyer made various other requests for evidence. Among other things, he demanded that a detailed forensic medical report on Wilson A.'s injuries be commissioned.
The court has now withdrawn to discuss the motions. It is expected to provide information about its decisions and the further course of the trial at lunchtime.
