CHICAGO (AP) - A judge has found a suspended Chicago police
officer guilty of aggravated battery in the videotaped beating of a
female bartender.
Anthony Abbate testified Tuesday that he threw,
punched and kicked a female bartender half his size because he felt
he was in danger.
He acknowledged he was drunk during the February 2007 incident.
But he says bartender Karolina Obrycka pushed him first as she tried to remove him from behind the bar.
The judge dismissed two official misconduct charges earlier in
the day.
