Judge Kevin McGrath acted at the request of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is investigating 1,100 cases tied to officers whose police work has come into question following their own criminal convictions.
“We cannot stand by convictions that are built on cases brought by members of law enforcement who have violated the law,” DA Alvin Bragg said in a statement. “These cases represent hundreds of New Yorkers who have been living with the serious costs that come with a conviction, including barriers to employment, housing and education.”
the cops were convicted of:
planting drugs on two people
helping to transport drugs and also accepting bribes and gifts from an undercover officer who pretended to be a drug dealer
taking money from an undercover officer
stealing and selling guns from a police precinct
releasing an 18-year-old woman from custody in exchange for sex
giving false testimony and conducting illegal searches
lying under oath in federal court
coerced sexual misconduct against two women in custodyIf you feel your police are great honest and wonderful.... good for you to have a positive outlook and give the benefit of the doubt. After all, in the USA, the law says cops are innocent until proven guilty.
