A former inmate who claimed two Albany County officers beat him up earlier this year was acquitted of the criminal charges that led to his detention. Jurors deliberated for about 25 minutes Monday before they found Syed Jaffrey, 54, of Albany, innocent of criminally impersonating a police officer and reckless endangerment. He was accused of driving a used police car and flashing his lights to get a young woman to pull over on an Albany-area highway in February. Jaffrey had bought the old state police cruiser legally from an auto auction. The marking had been removed. He was jailed after the woman, Gina Gorman, 18, of Watervliet, called police from a cell phone. The Pakistani native said two correction officers, including Gorman's brother, handcuffed him, kicked him and punched him repeatedly in his cell. Jaffrey was hospitalized with rib, lung and liver injuries. Albany County correction officers, William Gorman, 28, and Roy Hoffman III, 35, both of Watervliet, pleaded innocent in March to second-degree assault charges. |
