Defense lawyers protest alleged
police misconduct in Ellis case
short stuff
The defense attornies handling the John
Ellis preliminary hearing are upset about
actions Lincoln police reportedly took th
the night before the preliminary hearing
started. According to Craig Wittstruck, an
assistant to John Stevens Berry, Ellis'
attorney, Ellis said he was taken out of his
jail cell, and transported by patrol car to a
secluded garage or dark building.
Wittstruck said the incident happened,
according to Ellis, despite his "vehement
disapproval," and even though he asked
to see his attorney, they were never
notified.
Lt. Ron Bruder, a night shift comman
der at the police department, said he
knows nothing about it.
Deputy prosecutor Robert Gibson said
he could not make a comment. "I wouldn't
want to comment on anything concerning
his case until the hearing is over." Gibson
said.
Both Berry and Wittstruck refused to
comment on what Ellis said happened once
they reached the dark, secluded building,
but Berry said he intends to pursue the
matter once the preliminary hearing is
over, and may have additional statements
to make later.
The hearing, which began Tuesday,
is expected to conclude today.
