Gonzalez’s office referred to the move as the sixth-largest mass dismissal of convictions in U.S. history.
Prosecutors were in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Wednesday afternoon to request dismissals in 47 felony cases, and will do the same for 331 misdemeanor cases in Brooklyn Criminal Court later this month.
“These former police officers were found to have committed serious misconduct that directly relates to their official job duties, calling into question the integrity of every arrest they have made,” Gonzalez said. “A thorough review by my conviction review unit identified those cases in which their testimony was essential to proving guilt, and I will now move to dismiss those convictions as I no longer have confidence in the integrity of the evidence that underpinned them.”
just another reason I hate dirty cops, and their protective police union that keeps these ass holes on the payroll.
