CLEVELAND
Lawyers for the city of Canton began Thursday building a defense for the four police officers accused of beating Shawn Pirolozzi and causing his death.
Lawyers representing Pirolozzi’s estate in a trial in U.S. District Judge James S. Gwin’s court rested their case Thursday morning.
After grilling two of the police officers accused of beating Pirolozzi during an arrest on June 13, 2005, lawyer Geoffrey N. Fieger closed his case by calling Pirolozzi’s 9-year-old daughter, Shawntaa Pugh. Fieger had two questions.
“Who’s your father?”
“Shawn,” the little girl answered.
“Do you miss your daddy?” Fieger asked.
“Yes,” Shawntaa said.
