Herhold: Phuong Ho interview offers key to beating case

Like many of you, I've watched the grainy cell phone video that allegedly shows San Jose State student Phuong Ho being beaten by San Jose cops Sept. 3. Although the sounds of Ho's shrieks are unmistakable, it's hard to see exactly what's happening.
But there's a second video on the Mercury News web site (www.mercurynews.com) — an interview with Ho by reporter Sean Webby — that's an essential bookend to the cell phone version. It gives a face to a victim, a persuasive face.
Two moments stand out: The first comes when Ho talks about how the beating started. In his retelling, the first blow fell after he bent down to pick up his prescription glasses.
The second moment comes at the end
of the interview, when Ho, 20, describes how the police treated him. And it's abundantly clear that his pain wasn't just physical. It lay in his shock at losing his sense of self-respect.
Having been lied to many times in my career, I know the signs of the fib — the overheated retelling, the inconsistent details, the denunciation along ideological lines. You don't see them with Ho.
By this, I don't mean that he's an angel. Anyone who would wave a knife and threaten a roommate over a piece of soapy steak, even in jest, might have issues with anger management. Remember, the cops got a call about a guy who had wielded a weapon.
Sequence of events
But in weighing all this, consider the sequence Ho describes. Not understanding police procedure, Ho tried to follow an officer who entered the student's bedroom. A second officer stopped him. Ho's glasses fell to the ground.
Ho, who claims he can't see anything without them, says he asked to pick them up. Not hearing anything from the officer, he says he thought he had permission. He contends the first baton struck as he bent down to retrieve them.
"As I picked up my glasses, he hit me on the back, and I fell on the ground, with my glasses off again," he said. "So I still cannot see anything."
And there it is on the video: A wan smile, an acknowledgment of his blindness and the low comedy of the situation. Ho raises both hands toward his head as he relates the futility of his quest for the glasses.
Then, as he describes the beating that followed, he says, "How could I move? I couldn't even move an inch. How I could I resist arrest?"
Thick accent
You have to think that here is a guy with several strikes against him: He's a Saigon native with a thick accent and dubious grammar. He doesn't understand police procedure. And he's in a narrow space.
At the end of the Webby video, Ho muses about what the event meant. "They don't treat me like no more human," he says. "They treat me like some other thing. They just hit me like an animal or something."
And yes, there it is, again, a telltale sign — the grimace that folds his features and breaks his composure. Ho spits out the word "animal" like a bitter taste in his mouth. It's hard to think he's making this up.
I'm not convinced that an investigation of this case will produce any charges against the cops. Like I say, the cell phone version is grainy. And it is extraordinarily hard to make charges against cops stick before a jury.
But if you look closely at both videos, comparing the sound track of one with the sincerity of the other, the doubt about what happened that night starts to fade away
