Former ADA on Poli Board claims cops lied for him on the stand. Any takers?

I've seen people cite this... Officer Wilson's story is unbelievable
But then you read his account...and logically, it doesn't make any sense.
If he weren't an officer, he would get taken apart on the stand.
It sounds like one of those stories you tell to make the (after the fact, facts - fit the narrative)
And as a former ADA, I know cops lie all the time...they lied for me.

Everyone lies for their superiors... especially if there is a sense of loyalty or "brotherhood" involved. No surprise.

Couldn't believe what a dumbass, had to be a troll.

Post history suggests he's a Georgia grad. Profile says he's a lawyer.

USA Today: Grand jury charges are easy, except against police
It's really hard to avoid indictment - unless you're a police officer
quote:
"People do not want to believe officers do bad things," said Randolph McLaughlin, a law professor at Pace University in New York and a trial lawyer who has handled wrongful death cases against police. "Society gives them the benefit of the doubt. ... It's very difficult to indict a police officer."

Former New York state Chief Judge Sol Wachtler famously remarked that a prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich." The data suggests he was barely exaggerating: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. attorneys prosecuted 162,000 federal cases in 2010, the most recent year for which we have data. Grand juries declined to return an indictment in 11 of them. [FiveThirtyEight] There are some differences to note: That ratio is for federal grand juries, and the Michael Brown case was heard in a state court. But the most important difference is the job of the accused. While regular citizens are almost always indicted, police officers who have shot civilians are almost never are. In Houston, for example, not a single officer has been indicted in a decade.

What a POS and what a fricking idiot
Idiot for saying that on the Internet
POS for having cops lie for him
If I ever suspect a cop is lying I grill them until I know the truth and I dismiss the case if I think they're full of shite
No conviction is worth suborning perjury
No conviction is worth living with the knowledge that you illegally put somebody behind bars

So he admits to suborning perjury? Has he been disbarred?

Contact the Louisiana or California bar to investigate this.

I mean, if they were, how would you find people who wanted to be police officers? How would the officers be effective?

I still couldn't believe he didn't edit either.
Makes me think he's trolling.

If you read his posts about USC, it would be easy to think he's trolling as an ADA couldn't be so irrational. But then I realize Nancy Grace was a District Attorney so rationality can't be a prerequisite.

It looks as though in Cali, they call them Deputy District Attorneys vs ADA's, FWIW.
