A 28-year-old man who claims he was beaten by Framingham police after his arrest last month, was released without bail after appearing in Framingham District Court for arraignment, the MetroWest Daily News reported.
Nicholas Casaburri, 28, of 495 Laurel Hill Road, Norwich, Conn., was released from jail despite a prosecutor's request that he be held on $5,000 bail. He was arrested on April 23 in connection with several car break-ins at Adessa. Police charged him with Massachusetts assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, breaking into a motor vehicle, larceny from a vehicle, trespassing on railroad property and trespassing.
As we discuss on our Massachusetts criminal defense site, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon is a serious felony charge in Massachusetts, carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
Casaburri was reportedly injured during a struggle with police and spent several days in a Boston hospital. He alleges police brutality, claiming an outline of a flashlight around his eye may require surgery. A detective was also injured during the arrest and was treated at the hospital.
