The star witness against former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill said she had to stand up after witnessing the abuse against inmates.
"It's upsetting, it's really degrading, it's everything that we should be against," she said.

The witness faced the former sheriff in court after testifying against him in front of a grand jury. An hour after her testimony, she was then demoted and removed from all of her special team's assignments. The officer struggled to find work in the field after she left the department.
