OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) - The victim in a Milwaukee police beating case that led to convictions of 7 officers has been found guilty of battery for beating his wife.

The jury in Winnebago County Circuit Court convicted 29-year-old Frank Jude, Junior, today in the incident last September after his wife, Maria, testified of being beaten and begging for mercy.

Their 7-year-old son also testified, saying his dad was beating up his mom, and he brought her a knife to defend herself. She told the jury she pushed the knife away and didn't use it.

But Jude testified she attacked him with the knife and he only tried to grab her and restrain her.

After the verdict, Jude's sentencing was scheduled May 28th. Jude's probation from a previous conviction had been revoked after his arrest and he was returned to prison.

In October 2004, Jude was severely beaten in Milwaukee as he and three friends left a home where off-duty police officers were having a party. Three former officers were convicted on federal charges in the beating last July, and four others pleaded guilty to federal charges in the case. [MORE]
