Probe of W.Va. police beating claim inconclusive
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A review panel says it can't determine how a Princeton police officer suffered an injury that he claims he received in a beating at the West Virginia State Police Academy.
State officials commissioned the panel to investigate allegations by Christopher Winkler and his family that he suffered a blood clot in a beating by two instructors during an April training exercise.
The panel released its findings Friday. In its report, the panel said it couldn't determine whether the injury occurred an earlier boxing session or was aggravated or "substantially inflicted" during a baton exercise.
The panel also said there's no compelling reason to either eliminate or limit self defense training at the academy.
