anyone who expected honesty from them was a fool.
But according to the whistleblower, prosecutors knew that there was a witness who saw the suspect beating a woman and dragging her around by the neck. The suspect also fought back against the arresting officer. It turned out that the witness in question was the same woman who had called the police emergency line to report the domestic violence. There was also a second witness who made the same claim to prosecutors.
None of that witness testimony made it into the records and the whistleblower claims that it is now typical in Boudin’s office for such things to happen. She was forced to sign affidavits and understood that a failure to do so could cost result in losing her career.
Gee, withholding evidence, especially exculpatory evidence, isn't that supposed to be a crime? Even when done by a DA or the EffingBI?
