NEW YORK, May 24 (AFP) - A New York police officer on trial for allegedly beating and sodomizing a Haitian immigrant in a precinct bathroom plans to plead guilty, according to court documents released Monday. "If your honor can see fit to give us some time tomorrow (Tuesday) we would like to enter a plea (of guilty)," said Marvyn Kornberg, lawyer for Justin Volpe, 27, in a meeting with the presiding judge in the case. Volpe is one of four New York City cops charged with beating Abner Louima, 32, after his arrest outside a Brooklyn disco on August 9, 1997. The exact charges he has agreed to plead guilty to were not specified in the minutes of Kornberg's meeting with US District Court Judge Eugene Nickerson, the minutes of which were released to the press. Officers Volpe, Charles Schwarz, Thomas Bruder and Thomas Wiese are charged with beating Louima in a squad car after his arrest. Volpe is also charged with sodomizing Louima with a broomstick. Schwarz, 35, is charged with holding the suspect down during the bathroom attack. If convicted Volpe and Schwarz could face up to life in prison. For the squad car beating the maximum penalty is 10 years in prison. Louima is also seeking 100 million dollars in damages from the city in a civil suit. His alleged beating and sexual assault put him in the hospital with a perforated rectum and bladder, triggering outrage among the city's black population as well as legal charges against Volpe and three of his colleagues, all of whom are white. News that Volpe would plead guilty came after testimony in the case last week by two fellow officers, breaking the police's traditional code of silence. Sergeant Kenneth Wernick, a surprise witness, said Volpe bragged of sexually assaulting Louima and brandished the stick used in the attack to fellow officers.
