MILWAUKEE, WI – Former police detective Rodolfo Gomez managed to convince a jury that he “feared for his safety” from a man who he had chained to the wall and savagely beaten in order to extract a confession. Deron Love refused to confess to the killing of his baby, angering Gomez, who repeatedly compelled him to confess.
From the FreeThoughtProject:
After becoming tired of being told to confess to a crime that he did not commit, Love became agitated and began screaming in the face of Gomez. Gomez, then “feared for his safety” as the man, who was chained to a wall yelled at him. So he began to beat the restrained man – savagely.
There are two videos of Gomez’s interaction with Love. In the first video, Gomez is seen unleashing multiple punches and knee blows to the face and head of Love.
In the second video, both of Love’s hands are chained to the wall. Seeing the opportunity to inflict more pain, Gomez then began gouging Love’s eyes out. The screams are hard to bare.
Gomez was subsequently fired for this despicable behavior. However, he is now appealing.
Earlier this month, using a controversial tactic of slow-motion video presentation, the defense was somehow able to convince a jury that Gomez actually “feared for his safety.”
