Deputy pleads not guilty to jail cell assault of 15-year-old girl

A King County, Washington police officer has pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault after a judge agreed to the release of a video showing a 15-year-old girl being thrown against a wall, beaten and picked up by her hair.

A county prosecutor told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer the violent behavior should be considered "criminal misconduct," concluding "he should be prosecuted."

Captured November 29, 2008 in a SeaTac City Hall holding cell, the clip was released over the objections of Deputy Paul Schene's attorney, who insists it does not "tell the whole story."
