Birmingham cop convicted of beating man in '07BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say a Birmingham police officer could face as long as 10 years in prison after being convicted of beating a handcuffed prisoner five years ago. A jury convicted 34-year-old Corey L. Hooper of depriving the civil rights of Martez Gulley during the beating in 2007. He was acquitted on a second charge of using excessive force by firing a stun gun at another man.

A judge scheduled a sentencing hearing for Feb. 27. |
