side affect of the many corrupt New York cops? Releasing the non police criminals now that the evidence is not legally sound in 47 felony cases, and 331 misdemeanor cases

The Brooklyn district attorney’s office wants to vacate nearly 400 criminal convictions tied to 13 dirty New York Police Department officers.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said he didn’t find misconduct in the cases, but his prosecutors “no longer have confidence” in the work of the officers — who were convicted of crimes running the gamut from perjury to planting drugs to accepting bribes.

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.
