CBC -- Two Toronto police officers found guilty of assaulting a disabled man have been handed 12 months of house arrest and banned from carrying weapons.
In January, Const. Edward Ing and Const. John Cruz were found guilty of assault causing bodily harm in the April 2009 attack on Richard Moore, 60.
David Butt, the lawyer who represented the officers, says the officers received a conditional sentence today -- the equivalent of house arrest.
They have also been banned from carrying weapons for 10 years.
Butt says the sentence has been temporarily set aside as the duo launches an appeal, a process that can take about a year.
The officers testified they believed Moore was drunk at the time, only to find out he had severe medical disabilities.
