2h agoA former Bordentown police chief already convicted of lying to the
FBI is facing a retrial on hate crime charges.
Jury selection began this week in Camden in the case of Frank
Nucera.
Nucera is the white former police chief in Bordentown. He is
charged with hate crime assault and deprivation of civil rights on suspicion of
slamming a handcuffed Black man’s head into a doorjamb in 2016.
A jury deadlocked on the counts in 2019 but convicted him for lying to
the FBI.
Nucera's attorney says “the weaknesses and failings of the
prosecution’s case have not changed in those two years."
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
