Archival Footage: Cop Charged in Deadly 1994 Chokehold

The last time an NYPD cop was indicted in a deadly chokehold case was in March 1995, about four months after 29-year-old Anthony Baez died after a confrontation with police officer Francis Livoti. Livoti waived his right to a jury trial and was acquitted by a state judge in 1996. Two years later,Livoti was convicted in federal court for violating Baez’s civil rights and sentenced to seven years in a federal prison. He was released in 2005 after serving nearly the entire sentence.
