PHOENIX, July 24 (UPI) -- Lawyers in Arizona's racial-profiling trial used Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's public statements against him as he testified Tuesday.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs immediately began using Arpaio's statements, press releases and books to depict him as a law enforcement officer whose policy on immigration enforcement is rife with discriminatory practices and in accordance with requests made by local racist and extremist groups, the Arizona Republic reported Tuesday.
