Esposito, 64, was slated to answer questions under oath last week for a suit brought by a woman who says she was wrongly arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. Esposito was the NYPD chief of department at the time, and was the one who directed the arrest of Faith Laugier — and hundreds of others — during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge, court papers say. Laugier says she was following police directives when she was arrested.
