Panel Releases Inconclusive Report To Alleged Beating
WEST VIRGINIA....
Princeton police officer Christopher Winkler and his family claim two academy trainers at the West Virginia State Police Academy beat him during baton training on April 5th. Winkler's mother, Pamela McPeak, said an instructor told her, while her son was in the hospital, that he saved Winkler's life by pulling two other instructors off Winkler when they continued to beat him while he was unconscious. A review panel was commissioned by Governor Joe Manchin to look into the allegation. Friday, the panel released their report which states that "no conclusive determination" could be made as to whether Winkler got the blood clot from an earlier boxing session with an instructor or if the injury was "either aggravated or substantially inflicted" during baton training.
