Televised Assault, Real Arrest
By Kevin Brass, Fri., July 8, 2005
Getman was indicted by a grand jury on June 10. He could not be reached for comment on deadline.
According to court documents, the fight stemmed from a "verbal confrontation" on Sixth Street. On video, Getman is seen shoving Wes, one of Jamieson's roommates, twice from behind, the arrest affidavit says. Jamieson was trying to break up the fight when he was pulled from behind and tripped and fell to the ground. He was on the ground when he was punched. The blow broke Jamieson's cheek and orbital bones, as well as fracturing several smaller bones around the eye socket. Despite surgery and regular visits to an eye doctor, he told the police the vision in his left eye remains blurry.
