Manchester NH -- The Manchester man who says he was suspended from his job as a corrections officer because of his outspoken criticism of his employer described for jurors yesterday the financial, emotional and physical strain he was under during his year without pay or benefits. "It's hard to explain without starting to cry," Mark Jordan, 43, testified yesterday in Merrimack County Superior Court. And then, in a contentious cross-examination that lasted well over an hour, Assistant Attorney General Lynmarie Cusack steadily picked away at the veracity of Jordan's claims. "I just don't understand why you're being so aggressive towards me," Jordan said at one point to Cusack, prompting Judge Richard McNamara to direct him to "just try to answer the questions." "I know this is an emotional time for you and everyone in the courtroom," McNamara said. At another point, Jordan's own attorney, Chuck Douglas, had to tell Jordan to pay more careful attention. "Listen to the question," Douglas said to his client. "Listen to the question. You're not listening." "Just slow down everybody," McNamara said. Jordan was suspended in March 2010 after a fight with another corrections employee in the parking lot of the men's state prison in Concord. Because he was involved in a criminal investigation, Jordan was suspended without pay while the other man in the altercation, Sgt. Tom Messina, was not. Had Jordan, who was found not guilty on a simple assault charge earlier this year, instead been involved in an internal investigation, he would have been suspended with pay, according to court testimony.
