Published 08:05 p.m., Monday, May 14, 2012 Former Houston police officer Andrew Blomberg was not following procedure during a police beating and arrest of a 15-year-old burglary suspect in 2010, an expert in police policy testified Monday, the last witness in Blomberg's trial for official oppression. Katsaris, a rebuttal witness for the prosecution, testified against Blomberg, who was fired from the police department for his role in Chad Holley's beating, which was caught on video on March 24, 2010. Katsaris said Blomberg's actions were "objectively unreasonable" and were "contrary to any legitimate police action." Blomberg and other officers were caught on surveillance video hitting and kicking the teen as he lay on his stomach with his hands on the back of his head.
