Swain said he initially lied to police internal affairs investigators in telling them that Johnson was the aggressor.
"I didn't want to be the police officer to be the rat or the snitch on another police officer," said Swain, who changed his account when he learned there was a videotape of the incident. "(Authorities) said if I tell the truth I would not be prosecuted."

I remember when this happened. I'm glad that some justice was finally served for a change. I wish her killer could be brought to justice too.
