The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Thursday moved to scrap nearly 200 misdemeanor convictions that relied on the work of eight dirty NYPD cops who were found to have taken bribes, stolen or lied on the job.
The move was part of a review by prosecutors of cases tied to officers who were later convicted of various criminal charges, such as perjury, falsifying records, bride-taking and even drug dealing. “While most law enforcement officials and police officers are dedicated public servants, these eight officers, who played a material role in hundreds of arrests, criminally abused their positions of power,” DA Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
More than half of the 188 cases — ranging from 2001 to 2016 — that the DA’s Office is seeking to get dismissed ended in fines being issued or the defendants being incarcerated, thought none are currently behind bars, prosecutors said.
