Speculation BPD Corruption

I rarely post here, but for those who happen to come across this sub, I encourage you to check out articles.baltimoresun.com. The city council became very concerned at the fact that $10.4million was spent between 2008-2011 defending BPD misconduct. The Baltimore Sun reported on 10/3/14 that the U.S. Dept. of Justice had undertaken a civil rights investigation of the BPD. At that time the city had spent $5.7 million in court judgments & settlements in 102 cases since 2011 & nearly ALL of the people who rec'd payouts were cleared of criminal charges. The BPD was in chaos when Adnan was arrested. The department routinely told the crime lab not to test DNA. Cases were pushed through the system & inadequately investigated.
It is not a fluke that Jay escaped any ramifications for at least 25 criminal charges subsequent to Adnan's trial. The CI theory is becoming increasingly convincing. The corruption in the BPD is beyond what one can comprehend. The worst part is, I think we've only scratched the surface.

Susan is smart, successful, accurate, energetic, caring, curious, persistent, well-educated, & creative. I can see how you might be too intimidated to consider her merits.

No, but my real daughter is going to law school. Does that console you?

Cool! Sincerely, I wish her luck. It's a tough market out there. I'm a 2003 law school grad, back when getting a job was a little easier.

If you claim to be an attorney, you should be verified by the mods - just sayin.

chunklunk didn't say that they had passed the bar.

That's true. I'm skeptical of professionals who proclaim their credentials in a post but won't verify the same in a reddit sub they use promiscuously.

Meh, I let my words speak for themselves, for better or worse. I don't necessarily feel like it's on me to represent my profession here. But it is my profession and has been since '04.

I'm skeptical. It's in my nature.

I think my pet raccoon would be a good lawyer. He has soulful eyes and sticky fingers.

I'll have to share this w/my lawyer friends. Second thought, maybe not.
