RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Wake County jury listened to the third day of testimony in the trial of Wake County deputy Cameron Broadwell on Friday.

  • Broadwell is charged in the April 2018 beating of Kyron Hinton
  • Law enforcement officers who were on the scene that night alongside deputy Broadwell took the stand
  • Testimony is expected to continue Monday

Broadwell is charged in the April 2018 beating of Kyron Hinton. Law enforcement officers who were on the scene that night alongside deputy Broadwell took the stand. They testified Broadwell released the K9 onto Hinton who later had several injuries from the encounter.

One Raleigh police officer testified he did not feel like Hinton posed a threat. He says deputy Broadwell was only on the scene for about 20 seconds before the K9 was released.

On cross-examination, the defense asked the officer if Hinton would have been a threat if he had pulled a gun. He responded by saying it would have been a threat.

Testimony is expected to continue Monday.
