“It was a hard, hard fight,” said one of Svec’s lead attorneys, Torri Hamilton, outside the courtroom. “This is important for other police officers to see. A jury will have your back.”Svec, dressed in police black and blue with a badge pendant hanging from her necklace, says she still supports the police. “I hope this never, ever happens to another police officer,” she said.
While conducting her investigation, Svec testified that she found evidence including a video that contradicted the accounts of Officer Brandon Ternand and Officer Robert Caulfield .
