Professor John Burkoff was quoted by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in connection with the possibility that individuals arrested during the recent G-20 summit in Pittsburgh might pursue police misconduct charges.
“If you’re convicted of something, you have to explain that to a judge or a jury in a civil case. It makes it more difficult to be successful,” said University of Pittsburgh law professor John Burkoff. “If you’re acquitted it makes it easier.”
