Mr. Hynes said.b, 21b, 21The police department was initially criticized for not taking Mr. Mineo???s accusations seriously. When the police officers did not cooperate, Mr. Hynes empaneled a grand jury on Oct. 28. Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly disciplined the officers involved by placing them on modified assignment on Nov. 3.b, 21b, 21???The initial report was one of disbelief," Mr. Hynes said at the news conference.

Mr. Hynes said. ???It is alleged that Mineo???s complaints, that he was bleeding from his rectum, were ignored by the police officers.???b, 21b, 21The district attorney said Officer Kern issued Mr. Mineo a summons for disorderly conduct, which was found to be defective because it was backdated to January.b, 21b, 21According to an assistant district attorney, Charles Guria, who laid out more details at the arraignment, Officer Kern warned Mr. Mineo repeatedly not to go to the hospital or to a police precinct or else he would be charged with a felony. Officer Morales was in earshot when that warning occurred, the assistant district attorney said.b, 21b, 21After the incident, Mr. Mineo was treated at Brookdale University Hospital, which called the police Internal Affairs Bureau. Police investigators interviewed Mr. Mineo that night and notified the district attorney???s office. For six weeks, the jury heard testimony from approximately 20 witnesses, and was presented with forensic evidence.b, 21b, 21Mr. Hynes credited two officers who were witnesses to the incident, Noel Jugraj of the 71st Precinct, and Kevin Maloney, a transit officer, for ultimately testifying.b, 21b, 21Officer Maloney, who assisted in subduing Mr. Mineo, testified that Officer Kern touched Mr. Mineo???s buttocks with his baton.

Hynes confirmed that the witnesses did not see an assault, though they did say they heard Mr. Mineo???s screams.b, 21b, 21Officer Cruz, 26, and Officer Morales were not charged with assault.

My client never knew a crime was committed, so the whole case against him falls like a house of cards.???b, 21b, 21Carlos Cruz, the father of Officer Cruz, said he believed his son innocent. ???My son is a man who represents the law, who never did anything wrong, and he is not an abuser,??? Mr. Cruz said in Spanish. ???This is a miscarriage of justice.???b, 21b, 21The president of the Patrolmen???s Benevolent Association, Patrick J. Lynch, said in a statement: "An indictment is nothing more than an accusation and police enjoy the same presumption of innocence as everyone else. Police do a tough and dangerous job everyday and we have earned the benefit of a doubt with our blood and sacrifice. No one should come to any conclusions before all the evidence is heard."
