Well. Justice is supposed to turn a blind eye. It matters not what he was. Only what he did matters. Confessions he obtained may very well have been false and the very thing so many of us worry about most of all. False confessions, wrongful imprisonment and death. I see no reason why he should not take responsibility for breaking the law he was sworn to defend.

He won't get much punishment because law enforcement is held to a higher standard. Makes sense doesn't it?

Amazing the prosecutor knew nothing. But what
prosecutor can do is call him an investigator/witness and
award said officer full Immunity.

People, People.... Nothing will happen haven't we been since oblama's been in control, that "That's juct the Chicago way."
VL, could talk to that...
