This is an unfortunate circumstance. The deputy was rightfully cleared and this article fully illustrates a recap of the situation that occurred that night. It appears as if this was "death by cop". Such an unfortunate situation for the family of Mr. Brown and the deputy's family. May God bless them all.

The Temptation of Saint Anthony
La Tentation de Saint Antoine, 1898, 1m10s
Star Film Catalogue No. 169
In his cave, the hermit Saint Anthony prays before an effigy of the crucified Christ. A scantily-clad woman suddenly appears, and St Anthony shields his eyes from the sight of temptation. She vanishes, and he recommences reading the Bible. Two women appear either side of him, and he recoils in horror. They vanish, and he picks up a skull from the base of the cross. However, when he kisses it, it turns into another woman, with two more appearing in quick succession. They dance in a ring around the tormented Saint Anthony before vanishing. A desperate Saint Anthony kneels before Christ, who turns into another woman. But an angel also appears, to which Saint Anthony turns with undisguised relief. The woman vanishes and Christ reappears.
Although The Temptation of Saint Anthony contains a familiar collection of Georges Méliès' trademark jump-cut-triggered appearing and disappearing acts, the overtly religious elements are entirely new - at least when it comes to his surviving titles (I don't count the devil in The Astronomer's Dream/La Lune à un mètre, 1898, as his role is more akin to the horror film than any spiritual dimension). The subject of the various mental and moral torments of Saint Anthony was already well established, having inspired sixteenth-century masterpieces by Hieronymous Bosch and Mathias Grünewald, though Salvador Dalí's variation was still several decades away.
From a distance of over a century, it's hard to know how seriously to take Méliès' film, since in essence it's very similar to The Vanishing Lady (Escamotage d'une dame chez Robert-Houdin, 1896) - the only differences being that the various scantily-clad ladies are appearing and disappearing entirely unbidden by the hapless Saint Anthony, who would rather be left alone to read his Bible in his cave.
The first two encounters - with one and two women respectively - help set the scene, but Méliès then rings a more intriguing change as he has Saint Anthony picking up a skull from the base of the effigy of Christ on the cross, kissing it as if to exorcise the image of the women. But the skull then turns into another woman, followed by two more, who join hands around him, completely trapping him in a circle of temptation. Having failed to obtain satisfaction with the skull, he turns to the effigy of Christ Himself - surely He will remain pure? But no - his eyes are further sullied by the image of a crucified woman clad in a diaphanous dress, who descends from the cross and advances on him. When an angel then appears and banishes her before blessing Saint Anthony, his relief is almost palpable.
Although on a technical level The Temptation of Saint Anthony is something of a step back for Méliès (there are no effects more sophisticated than those he developed two years earlier), it nonetheless marks an advance in terms of subject matter, being one of the earliest films to tackle an explicitly religious theme. In this respect, Méliès proves himself the ancestor of Cecil B. DeMille and Franco Zeffirelli, whose own religious epics offer a similar blend of the solemn and the kitschy.
The print on Flicker Alley's DVD is marred by noticeable chemical blotching pretty much throughout, though the underlying image is very sharp and clear - rather too much so, in fact, since it is obvious that Christ is a painted flat, as is the cave set. Neal Kurz's piano accompaniment begins with shimmering scales before heavier chords signal the increasingly intolerable moral pressure being placed on Saint Anthony.

AllianceBernstein's Real Estate Group Expands Platform With New Commercial Real Estate Debt Fund
NEW YORK, July 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceBernstein L.P. (AllianceBernstein) announced today that it has successfully launched its first commercial real estate debt fund (the "Fund") as part of the firm's ongoing efforts to broaden its alternative investment offerings. The first-time Fund raised more than $700 million and will primarily focus on $15 to $75 million first mortgage loan investments secured by high-quality, transitional properties throughout the U.S. The Fund seeks to capture yield opportunities that have resulted from a liquidity gap as many traditional providers are unable to underwrite transitional credit. Its seasoned investment team will manage downside risk through a rigorous credit process focusing on fundamental real estate underwriting and control of servicing of its loan investments.
The Fund marks the next evolution for AllianceBernstein's Real Estate Group, which was formed in September 2009 to build out a leading private equity real estate investment platform leveraging the firm's infrastructure. Just over one year ago, the Group closed its first private equity real estate fund, which secured capital commitments of $680 million in the face of a challenging fundraising environment. Roger Cozzi, who joined AllianceBernstein this year, will lead the Fund and AllianceBernstein's newly formed Commercial Real Estate Debt Group.
"As we look to grow and diversify our client offerings, moving into commercial mortgage debt is the next logical step for us," said Jay Nydick, Co-CIO of the AllianceBernstein Real Estate Group. "With the expertise Roger brings in transitional loan investments, together with our robust existing infrastructure in real estate and credit analysis, we think we can take advantage of unique opportunities in the commercial mortgage market that hopefully should provide clients with attractive risk-adjusted returns."
Cozzi has more than 20 years of experience in the transitional first mortgage and mezzanine loan market. Most recently, Cozzi was CEO of Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK), a NYSE listed public REIT. He previously held senior investment positions at iStar Financial, Starwood Capital Group and Goldman Sachs.
