Trial continues for Chicago Police Sergeant accused of pinning 14-year-old to ground

SKOKIE, Ill. - It was the second day of testimony in the trial of Chicago Police Sergeant Michael Vitellaro.

He was accused of pinning a 14-year-old to the ground last summer.

Vitellaro reportedly thought the boy had stolen his son's bike.

The teen's family said they plan to file a civil lawsuit against the sergeant because they believed it was racially motivated. 

Vitellaro was stripped of his police powers last August and remains on a leave of absence.
