SPRINGFIELD — Three years after four Springfield Police officers were named in an excessive force lawsuit, their attorneys are requesting a judge pause the proceedings to have an appellate court answer a legal question they think could make or break the case.
Guistina Aprileo, who was arrested by the police on Nov. 7, 2018, according to her complaint filed in Hampden Superior Court, was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and assault and battery on a police officer.
