58. How relevant is that?

We can see the video of the "arrest."

The officer lost his temper over nothing. He took her off camera. We can assume that he knew that he was going to beat her up, although that has to be proved. We never saw what she looked like after that although there may be some video of her in her cell.

She complained that the officer was hurting her wrists. Could the scars on her wrists have been recent and due to the officer's conduct or were they most definitely older.

Even if she did smoke pot and cut herself, that information would have nothing to do with the false arrest and the stress that she would have suffered as a result of her terrible treatment by the officer.

In fact, if she was mentally vulnerable, a defendant has to take the plaintiff or the victim for what they are. If she was vulnerable, the officer had a duty to treat every person as vulnerable.
