Kelsey Fitzsimmons is on trial for assault, with her fate decided by Judge Jeffrey T. Karp instead of a jury.
The bench trial for NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran, accused of murdering a man by throwing a cooler at his head, began in the Bronx on Wednesday the first active member of the department to be prosecuted in more than a decade. Demonstrators outside the Bronx Hall of Justice, located at 265 East 161st St., rallied to demand Duran's conviction as the case got underway inside.
