A week-long departmental trial for Daniel Pantaleo, the New York police officer who put Eric Garner in the unauthorized choke hold that led to his death nearly five years ago on Staten Island, is set to begin this week.
This is not a criminal proceeding but a matter before an NYPD administrative judge who will weigh whether Pantaleo inappropriately used the maneuver. The judge’s decision goes to Police Commissioner James O’Neill, who will then decide Pantaleo's fate with the NYPD. "It's really important to respect due process here and I’ve been clear about that," de Blasio said."The big – the big mistake here, I really believe in my heart is the Justice Department never decided anything and, you know, the City of New York deferred to the Justice Department’s request that they take their investigation forward and determine if there would be charges and they never to this day have and it’s just – I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.
