Swarm of Philly Cops Beat Down Public Defender and Client Just Outside the Courtroom

A public defender was hospitalized, and a client represented by her firm left with more charges after a takedown just outside Criminal Justice Center courtroom.

Anthony C. Jones, 22 is now facing several more charges after the incident that took place earlier this month. Paula Sen, a public defender working for the firm representing Jones, was punched in the face during the struggle.

Those who witnessed the incident were left shocked.

“The officers overstepped their authority,” said lawyer Richard Hoy, who witnessed the altercation on a hallway bench nearby. “He was no threat to anybody. He was loud and obnoxious. He wasn’t threatening them – or anybody. The officers are there to protect people, but they didn’t protect anybody. They abused their power.”

According to Philly.com

The incident started about 11 a.m. last Friday, when a court crier in Courtroom 706 ordered Jones to remove his hat and then booted him out when he became upset, Sen said.

In the hallway, Jones yelled and cursed, and Sen hurried to defuse things, Hoy and Sen said. (Sen didn’t represent Jones, but her employer, the Defender Association of Philadelphia, did.)

About a dozen officers stood gathered down the corridor, Hoy said. “Look 50 feet from you now – that’s how far the police were,” he added.

Of Jones, Hoy said: “There was obviously something [mentally] wrong with him. But [the] PD [public defender] had him 75 percent calmed down.”

Still, about six officers suddenly swarmed, Sen said.

As the officers attacked, the 100 lb Sen tried to diffuse the situation, but to no avail. She was knocked down and punched in the head by Officer David Chisholm, according to Sen.

i live in a city

but it's more like a desert

stretches of pavement paling in the sun

the sidewalk grinds its teeth

i live in a city

but it's more like a desert

where nothing survives but the scavengers
