The District Attorney investigated the beating and found the police committed "no wrong doing."

In other words, the government investigated itself and found itself not guilty.

CONCORD - A Manchester man, injured when arrested by four off-duty Manchester police officers outside a downtown bar two years ago today, has filed suit, alleging police violated his federal civil rights when they beat him, causing injuries so severe he now has metal plates in his face.

In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in January, Christopher Micklovich says that only two people interviewed by police and the Attorney General's office - out of a combined total of about 30 witnesses - had no connection to him, the police department or the Strange Brew Tavern where the March 3, 2010, incident happened.

Those two witnesses, cab driver Christopher Wade and bar patron Erin Moul, who had stepped outside to have a cigarette, both corroborated Micklovich's account and told investigators they thought the officers were going to kill him, according to the lawsuit.

[...]"Look at the Attorney General's report," Meagher said. "That was a really exhaustive investigation - a couple thousand pages and the result was there was no wrongdoing found on the part of the police department."
