Look! Judge Follows the Law
- A Cook County judge today dismissed the indictment against Chicago Police Officer John Haleas, the officer accused of writing numerous false drunken driving tickets.
Judge James Obbish ruled that prosecutors improperly used statements given by Haleas to Internal Affairs investigators looking into misconduct charges against him. A U.S. Supreme Court case prohibits statements from administrative disciplinary proceedings from being used against officers in criminal cases.
Haleas was charged in March 2008 with four counts of perjury, four counts of official misconduct and two counts of obstructing justice. He was stripped of his police powers.
Garrity carries the day. Just because you are a police officer, you are not below the law. You are entitled to each and every protection provided to an American citizen in the same circumstances regarding alleged criminal conduct. Adminstrative discipline is another matter.
This part is typical Cook County State's Attorney though:
- In his ruling, Obbish noted that the internal affairs investigator involved in the case and the assistant state's attorney in charge of seeking the indictment gave differing versions of how Haleas' statement was handled during the investigation. An internal affairs sergeant said he informed then-Assistant State's Attorney David Navarro of the statement, which Haleas had no choice but to give in the internal probe of allegations he was making false DUI arrests.
But Navarro said he had carefully kept any information about the statement out of his case file in order to not taint the criminal investigation, according to Obbish. However, Obbish said he had no way to verify that claim because the state's attorney's office lost the file.
This is what happens when you have political hacks pretending to be lawyers. We suppose the file was "lost" when someone smarter than the ASA running the case realized the report contained more evidence of prosecutorial misconduct than of police wrongdoing, so it's easier to lose the case on a motion. It keeps the ambitious ASA politically "clean."
And this, more than anything, should have put a complete end to ASA ride-alongs.

YESSSSS!!!! Now John when you get back on the job, give them ZEROS when you check off!!! FUCK THEM ALL...MOTHER FUCKERS!
Shortly after hearing about the dismissed indictment, J-Fed's fingers went numb from dialing various federal-level contacts in an effort to have Haleas indicted for some kind of Federal Civil Rights violations.
Yeah, I just made that up, but it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination, would it?
Oh yeah. Before it slips my mind: FUCK YOU, JODY!
Alavarez seems to be incompetent...the felony review unit is questionable, at best...anyone know why, and still, only two Illinois counties (Cook being one of them) still use a felony review unit?...can anyone return justice to Illinois citizens?
So then why are they able to use our "administratively forced dui blow" in court?
Under this ruling the admin blow should not be admissable, as it use to always be.
Anybody know what has happened to then-Assistant State's Attorney David Navarro?
Funny how the lawyers cannot follow the law.
NEVER TRUST THE ASA'S OFFICE OR THEIR MINIONS. THEY WILL PUSH YOU UNDER THE BUS FOR SPORT!

CPS breakfasts are big on doughnuts, sugary cereals
November 4, 2009 11:17 PM
The 10-year-old boy sat grinning at the colorful cellophane wrappers piled in front of him.
Moments earlier they'd held three warm doughnuts. Now the treats were in the fifth-grader's belly -- along with 600 calories, 18 grams of fat and 36 grams of sugar.
Sure, these reduced-fat doughnuts were nutritionally fortified, but they were still doughnuts, and along with a cup of sweet juice, they made up the Chicago public school student's entire breakfast.
This year for the first time, the Chicago Public Schools are offering free universal breakfast to nearly every student, which is happy news for those who have urged schools to expand breakfast programs. Research has shown kids learn better when their stomachs aren't empty.
OT -- Three neighbors were shot after confronting supposed drug buyers.

Prepare yourselves for these incidents to increase in frequency. Citizens of Chicago, if they're not aware already, should realize the police can't save them. Or even assist them because, god forbid, they shoot an assailant brandishing a gun as the future community leaders turns his body to begin running.
"OH LAWD, My baby was turning to run away! He done never not hurt anyone, not ever in his life. Ever." His grieving mother will say in front of television cameras.
Citizens of Chicago, you're on your own. Read this blog carefully. The city has made me, and thousands of others, reactive police officers. I don't know if it will ever change with Daley or Weis in charge.
Wow, this really opens the door wide for several jammed up and terminated coppers.
Congrats to Officer Haleas on overcoming his railroading.
Finally, a Judge who knows the law and impartially enforces it.
This small but HUGE victory is a beacon of light to the nonexistent morale of the CPD.
A U.S. Supreme Court case prohibits statements from administrative disciplinary proceedings from being used against officers in criminal cases.
But when it comes to you getting a DUI, the court can and WILL use the breath/blood from the admin. against you!
david navarro is no friend to the police--- he should be held accountable just like the guy in the duke case was for prosecutorial misconduct--- please do not lump all asa's in the same pile as this fool--- many are on our side and can't stand the likes of navarro.....
Yes, the lost file, to bad its not in fashion to indict ASA's for perjury.
Congrats Haleas!! Glad everything turned out alright
Hope he sues the shit out of all of them..... Call me John, I have the guy you need on speed dial
Has IAD ever been able to put together a successful case? Everytime they conduct an investigation they seem to look like they never did this stuff before.
I try to get it across to all the new Officers..... Beware of ASA's..... they are lawyers!!! Everyone of them will hang you in a second to try to make a name for themselves and move up in their world. DO NOT LOSE YOUR SENSE around them, never cut corners and always DO IT BY THE BOOK-EVERYTIME!
Question to John Northern
What is the protocol for sending books to Bill Cozzi? If I purchase a book online used, can I have the seller send it directly to Bill? Can I send books directly? How do they have to be packaged?
Christmas is coming and I would like to make it a little better for Bill.
The quality of the ASA's sheds a light on what the Chicago Police Department would be if Daley controlled all hiring.
Of course given the quality of exempts and the meritcloutorious promotees we are not that far behind.
When prosecutors start playing around with the facts of a case and "losing" evidence that's when you see innocents being railroaded.
The same day Haleas was cut loose by Judge Obbish and the Tribune ran an article about lax enforcement of the traffic laws resulting in the death of a pedestrian, the idiots at ABC Chicago ran a story in which it was suggested that another PO be prosecuted for enforcing the DUI laws. The ABC story focused on Off. Fiorito in 023 and claims he has wrongfully charged people with DUI and given false testimony in court. Another witch hunt just like the BS with Haleas and Parker. The public and the press are schizophrenic. On one hand they bemoan the lack of punishment of those who flaunt the traffic laws, on the other hand, they seek to prosecute POs who attempt to enforce the law. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a thankless, dangerous job. Stay safe.
...anyone know why, and still, only two Illinois counties (Cook being one of them) still use a felony review unit?...

SO ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE AN OFFICER WHO CAN FILE SUIT AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT!
IS JOHN GOING AFTER THE IAD OFFICER FOR RELEASING OFFICIAL INTERNAL DOCUMENT/ MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.
PROBABLY NOT!!
BUT GUESS WHAT THE DEPARTMENT WILL DO, STRING HIM ALONG 4 A FEW YEARS AND TRY AND GET HIM ON SILLY RULE VIOLATIONS.
I WONDER IF MOTHER AGAINST DRUNK DRIVER THREW THE OFFICER A FUND RAISER. I WONDER IF THOSE DUI AWARD GOT HIM A DISCOUNT ON A LAWYER TO DEFEND HIM.
I WONDER IF HIS COMMANDER WHO HE WAS WORKING FOR VISITED HIM IN LOCK UP WHEN HE WAS HAND CUFFED AS AN OFFENDER.
DUI'S R HARD ENUFF DONT PAD STATS FOR ANYONE THE BUS WILL RUN U OVER AND NO ONE WILL SHED A TEAR 4 UR DUMB ASS.
How can administrative statements be inadmissable, but when they force you to administratively blow, it can be used against you?
I dont understand. Can anyone clarify?
Yes, they "lost" the file showing how the ASA mishandled information and dragged the officer through the court system to face criminal charges.
When do you think they'll find the file?

Thank you for noticing.
The media are cowards and do not like to 'go after' people who will fight back. That's why they won't write about the corruption in the Daley administration because they all know he will come after them.
The police, on the other hand, who are virtually prohibited from talking to the media or from defending themselves outside of a courtroom are the perfect fodder for their criticism.
It also doesn't help any to have a police union who is more worried about their next golf outing or selling crap from their gift shop than standing up for the victimized officers and being vocal about the media's biased reporting. But, I guess when you're in bed with the mayor, you have to do what you're told. What does it cost to buy your silence anyway, FOP?
Old lawyer here. I read this blog every day. And I agree that there are many, many people who should not have law licenses. Lawyer bashing is fun-I do it myself-but please note that there are many decent human beings who are good lawyers and who support the police.
Those statements he made to IAD, that were used to indict him, can still be used to fire him. He also still has to deal with statements made to IAD by the ride along ASA's. He's still in a pile of shit, just smaller.
IAD cannot put a case together because most, but not all of the sergeants and lieutenants assigned there are connected, minortity, double merit promotees like West-Givens, Cochran, et al. I know a few sharp guys who took the spot because they deperately needed a second car at home; however, their presence hardly serve to balance out the morons that make up the bulk of the supervisors assigned there.
So who is going to charge the State's Atty office with a civil rights violation? If a policeman took a statement without any form of due process, and tried to use it in a prosecutory manner...Guess what would happen?
Remember the days of the keys in the trunk or keys down a sewer? Might want to go back to that policy. Things went a lot easier back then.
Lets not forget the Head Hunter Sergeant in this case, didn't he know better? No one seems to mention the IAD person in this incident, again, I was always told, "NEVER TRUST A FED AND NEVER TRUST A HEAD HUNTER." They will screw you in a minute.
Don't think they are above lying to put you into prison.
So then why are they able to use our "administratively forced dui blow" in court?
Under this ruling the admin blow should not be admissable, as it use to always be.

If you give an administrative breathalyzer, expect that it will be used to convict you of DUI.
Whoop dee doo. He still did it.

On behalf of Bill Cozzi, thank you for your concern. First, please read the earlier thread entitled "Write to Bill".
If question(s) still remains, thoroughly review the www.BOP.gov Web site.
Unfortunately, there are some obscure questions that I am unable to answer.
Also, when you write Bill, you could ask him.
If you still have difficulties after reviewing all of the above, send me an eMail at cpdfop7@yahoo.com
Congrats Haleas!! Glad everything turned out alright
11/05/2009 02:41:00 AM
Let's not go that far.
Please remember that this moron was racking up DUI's for the sole purpose of getting awards. Then, he takes ASAs on a ride along and lies on his reports.
He will get fired. He should get fired. And had a qualified criminal prosecuter handled his case, he very likely would have gone to prison.
Don't forget that the feds may show up at his door one day to finish this job.
These recent DUI disgraces all have one thing in common. The coppers wanted to win accolades. They undoubtedly put away a lot of drunks, but they almost certainly used bullshit to hook up a good number of working people in their quest to be #1 DUI moron.
I've seen these DUI freaks on my occassional trip to traffic court. They had one more thing in common. They were all soft in the head.
Had these idiots just done their job, they would have made plenty of money in court and they'd still have a job, but that just wasn't enough for them. What they wanted was special attention.
And now they got it, along with the rest of us.
OT but... Can anyone in payroll find out how many of us cash in the 6&4 every year and how much the city pays out? This has been a major thorn in the side for City Hall and they want it to stop! Re: 4&2, 6&3....etc. They want us to have to use those days rather than cash them in.
It doesn't make him any less guilty. He is just as guilty as OJ was when Johnny Cochran sprung him loose. As a department we loose credibility everytime a cooper does not follw procedure and the law. I hope Jody gets more funding to beef up and professionalize IAD. You guys sound like ghetto loosers on the Jerry Springer show gloating about this.
But Navarro said he had carefully kept any information about the statement out of his case file in order to not taint the criminal investigation, according to Obbish. However, Obbish said he had no way to verify that claim because the state's attorney's office lost the file.
LAWSUIT!!!!!
IAD should be investigated for an improper investigation and violations of an Officers Civil Rights. Once again, The ASA has immunity but no doubt there was a conspiracy in there Office that requires a Independent Investigation.

[IL] Sen. Burris Cites Unwritten Constitutional 'Health' Provision to Justify Forcing Americans to Buy Health Insurance
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/56629
(CNSNews.com) - When asked by CNSNews.com what specific part of the Constitution authorizes Congress to mandate that individuals must purchase health insurance, Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) pointed to the part of the Constitution that he says authorizes the federal government "to provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country." In fact, the word "health" appears nowhere in the Constitution.
“Well, that’s under certainly the laws of the--protect the health, welfare of the country," said Burris. "That’s under the Constitution. We’re not even dealing with any constitutionality here. Should we move in that direction? What does the Constitution say? To provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.”
James O’Connor, Burris’s communications director, later told CNSNews.com that although the word “health” does not appear anywhere in the Constitution, the senator was referring to the Preamble of the Constitution which says the following:
Sue the shit out of the IAD investigator!
**** Where is Daley's son??? A little bird said he is "working" in Russia and waiting for the statute of limitations to expire!!!! *******
Good for John. But guess what... IAD will still fuck him administrativly!! Another reason to NOT do shit on the street. It's unfortunate but that's the climate until Jodi is gone
Judge corothers 555 w harrison is horrible. Do not vote for this **** if your a cop.
"...Another witch hunt just like the BS with Haleas and Parker..."
Parker? PARKER?? What "BS" are you talking about? He is a lying, racist sandbagger. Why do you think he resigned when faced with accusations of serious misconduct backed by videotaped evidence from his own squadcar mounted dash cam? Because the cookie-cutter narratives of his DUI reports didn't match what was recorded in stop after stop. He got away with it for years. Without video evidence backing up the claims that he was putting cases on people, it would have only continued until he retired. Traffic Section is so much more peaceful with him gone. No more bogus CRs filed against officers or supervisors he didn't like. No more anonymous letters.
You are not missed, Parker!

Yeah, that's the problem, no more witnesses to a police officer falsifying arrest reports.
I wouldn't bet on him getting his job back. Just because Obbish threw out the charges, doesn't mean the review board or who ever determines police misconduct can't fire him.
Is there any truth to the story of the city winning a civil suit and the lawyer then suing the P.O. for lost wages because the lawyer had to pay the city lawyers for defending the P.O.? Did the city eventually pay the lawyer for lost wages?
And they expect Us to go out and stick our necks out in this political climate? Why, to end up penniless, and imprisoned for bullshit like Cozzi is, or Mike Mette was? No raise in 2 1/2 years?

Yesterday, it was pointed out how a POLITICAL PROMOTION during these rough economy times, R. Hamilton, assigned to the Academy, was mysteriously promoted (not by service rank, solely in salary), cost the taxpayers of Chicago $11,106.00 per year. This political promotion was generated by Mike Masters.
In terms of dollars that POLITICAL PROMOTION has been nothing compared to Keating. Keating has been promoted, again not by service rank nor passing a promotional examination, solely based on his relationship with the Mayor. The same Mayor that wants us to take 24 unpaid furlough days. Keating is the service rank of a Sergeant, yet his rank of Deputy Chief costs the city $55,000per year.
It’s ironic that when a working copper gets sued, the media points out what this Officer has cost “the residents of Chicago”. The media attempts to force this Officer off the job. Well, Keating received Commander’s pay for long times at the Mayor’s detail while the rank of a Sergeant.
These Two political promotions cost the “residents of Chicago” $66,186.00 per year. Further, a fair estimate is that Keating’s political promotions have cost the “the residents of Chicago” over a Half of a MILLION Dollars thus far.
Remember people, A.S.A's are not your friend!

I dont feel sorry for this prick or that Jagoff Parker who is a fucking pathological fucking liar. Some people just should not be on the job and thats the fucking plain truth. Sorry if it hurts!
Congrats to Officer Haleas on overcoming his railroading.
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but he fucked himself! I'm glad that the constitution was upheld and his COMPELLED statement to IAD was not allowed into evidence, but let's not forget how this whole debacle started.
It started when HE took shortcuts in front of witnesses who are members of the SA's office.
If you're that fucking stupid, you deserve what you get.
He won't face criminal prosecution, but civil damages for wrongful arrest as well as losing his job is down the road for him.
Just do your job the right way, fuck short cuts. Short cuts are a ticket to shitsville.

The reason why was because the Media and abc news man Kevin Roy who did the segment want to make it into a "Gay thing" they want to make it sound like he was targeting just gay people. Just a bunch of bull shit
IAD is, was, and probably always will be a haven for those with the clout and influence to get a transfer to that unit. Straight days, weekends off ( usually) and for many a take home car is a big draw. Competence as an investigtor, fairness and resistance from political or department presure has never been a criteria. Most of the investigators ( patrol officers or sergeants) have never been good or decorated street coppers. They really have a strange twist to their thinking. Cover-up has always been a routine and going after people whom the powers-to-be wanted screwed happens more than you think.
SCC: way off topic, but worthy of a mention;
ARMY SPC. JARED STANKER OF EVERGREEN PARK WAS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN BY A ROADSIDE BOMB. HIS WAKE IS FRIDAY AT BLAKE LAMB ON 103RD ST. THE FUNERAL IS AT QUEEN OF MARTYRS CHURCH ON SATURDAY AT 10 AM.

ASA Navarro was working on the Finnigan / SOS case and that is all fucked up too. Any Police want to hire this chump after his brilliant career in the S/A office. I don't think so.
Saw Alderscum Ed Burke at Rayl's funeral today.....what is with his bodyguard opening the car door for him like he is royalty? I couldn't sleep at night if my job was to cart that arrogant schmuck around and open and close doors for him.
I know lots of folks dont like Navarro but I give him credit. When he was approached by nutsack iad folks who were already on a fishing expedition to try and jam somehard working police, he told them no, not once but twice!
I saw this in black and white. If someone looks hard enougn they might find a dirty rotten iad rat trying to manipulate the case against Haleas as well.
Kirby was great for this shit!

I worked with haleas' in 25 for several years and not once did I see him wear any of the ribbons that he had earned for the DUIs. News flash... the real police don't care about ribbons or sucking off the tact seargents for that 50th honorable. So to all the jags on here saying he we was "power hungry" - a hearty fuck you is in order!
Agreed that the ASA is an idiot. Look how she swept up Hiram. He was a political idiot.

As to the content of correspondence:
1. ALWAYS remember that ALL incoming correspondence is subject to being inspected and read by BOP staff.
2. HARDCOVER books MUST BE shipped from their purchased source, ie., a business and an invoice included within the shipping package. This also includes magazines, newspapers, periodicals, etc.
3. SOFTCOVER books may come from any source.
4. There is an official limit of 5 books being possessed by an inmate at any given time. Rarely enforced, but you never know. Thus, sending more than 5 books in one shipment may result in that shipment being refused.
5. The content of reading materials must not include images of weaponry, nor of 'explicit sexual content'. 'Explicit sexual content' is commonly determined by the judgment of the individual BOP employee assigned to inspect incoming correspondence at the time of it's reception. Both males and females are employed by the BOP. This policy generally applies only to images, not to textual content.
6. If anything mailed is rejected, the sender should receive, with the returned item(s), a form explaining the reason(s) for said rejection.
7. ANY content deemed to relate to violence, sexual depravity, criminal activity and, in any manner, implying anything to do with 'escape', will be noticed. (this for those who haven't got a clue)
8. Keep in mind that inside, 'good will' goes a long way, so, a particular book on a particular subject may not be of interest to Bill, but may be helpful in sowing what seeds of 'good will' can be sown.

(OT) Just looking at a new personnel order from j-fed looks like he added 4 new D-3 "security specialists" 3 to the treasurer and another 1 to daleys detail, that is $80,000 more total per year for valets? Great use of money the treasurer are you fucking kidding me? who the fuck is she to deserve this? The 1 guy Which I will not name was investigated by the feds as his wife has a ghetto dental office and was mis using funds what gives?

Today, Andolino was stunned by the allegations that cash payoffs were made to secure lucrative restaurant concessions at O’Hare and Midway Airports and that Carothers wore a wire in the investigation.

Jamming toothpicks in the ignition and doorlocks worked too!
I know lots of folks dont like Navarro but I give him credit. When he was approached by nutsack iad folks who were already on a fishing expedition to try and jam somehard working police, he told them no, not once but twice!
I saw this in black and white. If someone looks hard enougn they might find a dirty rotten iad rat trying to manipulate the case against Haleas as well.
Kirby was great for this shit!
11/05/2009 08:59
Who were/are the cops that IAD had it out for? You mean to say that Kirby would use her position to fuck over a cop? I do not buy it. point me in the right direction. I would like to know, as would the Chicago Field Office of the FBI.
ANd the ASA blames IAD .... ya, how would you expect and ASA to know you can't use the statement ... maybe they were just confused ....HMMM ...did he make that statement to me? or to IAD? I am so confused ....
So then why are they able to use our "administratively forced dui blow" in court?
Under this ruling the admin blow should not be admissable, as it use to always be.
----
the reasoning for allowing the blow is that it is "non testimonial"

How can administrative statements be inadmissable, but when they force you to administratively blow, it can be used against you?
I dont understand. Can anyone clarify?

blow is non-testimonial says the Sup Ct.
can't use testimonial beacaus that violates your 5th amend right against self-incrimination
when IAD forces you to talk - you incriminate yourself
when IAD forces a blow - you are NOT incriminating yourself
pretty fine line, I know

It's TRUE. I know for a FACT that IAD has a meeting every Monday in a secret room on the fifth floor behind the water cooler.
They pull up the names of the hardest working P.O.s and decide how to put a case on them to make them stop working. This comes from orders from the Mayor himself! It is despicable.

Another old gunner your right 100% but the young kids cannot see the light! More coffee?
Kirby used her confidential section as a personal witch hunt team. Those guys will have to explain that very shortly. And not in Crook County but at 219!

How are you not incriminating yourself? Your being compelled to provide evidence against yourself in either case.
Btw that is a Illinois Supreme Court ruling not a SCOTUS ruling.
yea...stick your neck out like Cozzi.....smack some hancuffed motherfucker in a wheelchair with a fucking sap while being filmed doing it and expect to get away with it. DUI some poor fucking slob thats not drunk and have it recorded on the in car camera and expect to get away with it. Not once but many times. WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU FUCKING SMOKING YOU FUCKING IDIOT???? AND YOU WONDER WHY WE END UP GETTING FUCKED? GOD HELP US! Keep up the stupid shit, I have all the reason to believe this shit will never end.
Ok, "sharp" guy. Who the fuck are you fooling? You can buy a reliable beater on craigslist for under 2 grand. You are there because you are soft, a police hater, a suck ass hack, or all of the above.
11/05/2009 10:49:00 PM
Obviously, I fooled you you fucking idiot because I am neither assigned to IAD, nor would I ever want to work there. There are, however, a few guys who are smart and experienced coppers working there who could work through a bullshit beef and get rid of it to save a guy just as expediently as the idiots who would screw someone over-just not enough of them. You sound like a mental defective who might just benefit from the presence of a few good guys when you screw up. And yes, I fooled you, softball.

They train us poorly and them are surprised at what happens with a poorly trained police force. Then they treat us like children.
In 019 the sergeants now have to accompany each and every PO out to their squad car and inspect the GPS device for tampering and inspect the in car cameras and microphones. Every day, now this is the drill. And oh, by the way, go write tickets, make arrests and be aggressive because they have our backs.
Yup, they have our backs all right, in the cross hairs.
I am not kidding, If you or any officer knows that Kirby used her office to go after Police officers, when there where no facts or evidence to support a crime. I strongly feel that this information needs to be known and she held accountable. If times are changing for this department "which they are" then no level or posotion on this department should be above the law. Not trying to start something here but some one out there is making very serious allegations. "This is not sparta" but it is Chicago and any one who works or lives here, understands the Chicago way.
As far as IAd goes, there are some good people there and some that screw a copper just because they have been given that task by their boss.
I just cant wait to see what boss will take the blame after their witch-hunters get called on the carpet for it.
There are great legal minds in this city that have been disceting certain cases that have been sustained and good hard-working cops have been hurt.
Heard even corp counsel is questioning some of the things coming their way from 35th st.
Boy its fun to work at HQ-just have to sift thru the bs and get to the truth and reality...
Kirby definitely was strip crazy. The slightest thing she took to the max. How is she surviving? She DEFINITELY isn't half as smart as she thinks she is.
How do these people keep fooling them?
To look at the upper Management positions in this department is to obviously see that over half of them are completely incompetant. They must hire resume' writers.

I agree but what do I know. That is what the courts have said ... I am not the courts
She was strip crazy and when you had a target on your back(placed by her), you were screwed.
Too bad it has to be this way. Working guys getting hurt by people who acted just because they thought it was impossible to do good police work honestly!
Yet when there were calls coming in about theft ,home invasion,etc, she swept it under the rug.
Just Asking.
Is the same David Navarro who along with Scott Cassidy ran the Special Prosections Unit?
Is the same unit that was found to have lied to the court and witheld documents that they themselves generated in a case where a polce officer was the defendant.
Is this the same David Navarro who lied to the court and withheld evidence that was favorable to two SOS coppers and then had to drop the charges on the two officers when the court was about to hold a hearing on those allegations?

YES
I do not know if he is still with the office, but he is worse than Stew Goldberg.
I am glad the Judge followed the law, but we must also remember that this is often called a "technicality." The next time a defendant beats a case based on a bad search warrant....we must remember it was the same type of "technicality."
