Surveillance tape from the incident that took place in the Miami Beach Marriott — obtained by Davis’defense attorney, Scott Kotler — was key evidence during the trial.
“I truly believe one particular officer was baiting him, and as soon as Dale got under his skin, he Tasered him and that put them in a real predicament,” Kotler said. “They had an issue because he was an NBA basketball player and they had just used 50,000 volts on him. The officer had to legitimize what he did and then all the charges came raining down. … I used the video to basically set up my whole defense.”
Davis could file a civil suit against the arresting officers, but Kotler said he didn’t know Davis’s plans.
