Robert Rhodes was acquitted in 2005 of charges he violated the tourist's civil rights by pushing her head into the pavement as several officers sought to control her after she ran from a checkpoint.

His lawyer said Rhodes considered expendable because he had filed a federal complaint against his employer alleging unfair treatment because he is gay.
