Alvin Bragg disavows convictions tied to 9 officers found guilty of corruption

[butters]

Manhattan's top prosecutor on Tuesday disavowed over 300 convictions tied to police officers who were themselves found guilty of crimes, the latest in over 1,000 dismissals citywide of cases connected to officers who were charged or convicted.

The latest abandoned convictions, almost all misdemeanors, date back as far as 1996. Each involves one of nine officers who were later convicted of on-the-job offenses — among them taking bribes, illegally selling guns, lying under oath and planting drugs on suspects — and are no longer on the force.

since 2021, Bragg and three other NY city's four other DAs have seen the dismissal of 1,200 cases linked to police corruption, moves welcomed and encouraged by the Legal Aid Society.
