A 5-year-orderal over an allegedly brutal police beating at the hands of five Pennsylvania State Troopers is finally coming to a conclusion in a federal courtroom in Wilkes-Barre this week. That is where a civil lawsuit filed by the alleged victim, Robert Leone, will be decided. His lawsuit accuses the five officers of police brutality back in 2010, according to WBNG Binghamton.

WNEP in Scranton reports that testimony could wrap up today. On Tuesday, several witnesses answered questions about Leone's medical treatment at the jail and hospital, as well as his medical prescription for bipolar disorder.

The defendants -- Trooper Andrew Burian, Trooper Matthew Knock, Trooper Thad Warnick, Trooper Timothy Young and Corporal Roger Stipack -- appeared in court Monday.

Highlights from WNEP:

An emergency room doctor from Towanda, Pa., testified that police used a taser on Leone in the hospital. Attorneys for the troopers say the use of force was "appropriate and necessary," as the men were provoked when Leone would not answer their questions at the hospital.

Leone's parents told WNEP that following a low-speed chase in Bradford County, not only was he beaten by state troopers but that the abuse continued in the lockup, and even in the hospital.

Leone was 31-years-old when he was arrested on numerous charges on March 8, 2010.

Troopers in Bradford County tried to pull him over as a suspect in a hit-and-run, involving another car in Towanda. This led to a slow-speed chase on Route 6 between Towanda and Troy.

Leone was finally stopped with spike strips. He refused to get out of the car, and then wrestled with troopers when they pulled him out.

Leone's lawyers claim he was mentally ill at the time of the incident. They also claim he was under the influence of a high dosage of prescribed bipolar medication. In addition, they say he may not have even been aware of the police pursuit.

Lawyers for the troopers said their use of force was appropriate-- not knowing what they would be up against.
