Not sure who has been following this case, but I have from time to time

Daniel Hersl, 47, and Marcus Taylor, 30, join six colleagues from the Gun Trace Task Force who already had pleaded guilty. But the guilty verdicts offer small comfort for a city where homicides keep rising and guns violence rocks neighborhoods even as the police department struggles to overcome accounts of bias and lawbreaking.

The head of internal affairs has been transferred and a deputy commissioner has retired after both were implicated in misconduct during trial testimony. Thousands of convictions in cases handled by the task force are now being questioned by defense attorneys.

“This trial took you inside the Baltimore Police Department,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Leo Wise told jurors last week. “It showed you things more horrible in some cases than you ever could have imagined.”


Court documents suggested the problems seeped beyond the police department.

All six plea agreements state that someone in the state’s attorney’s office leaked information about the federal investigation to the task force members, and several officers testified fellow cops gave them a heads-up as well.

Rampant corruption and as noted in the article assistance from the State level to their own covering for them.
Clear this Police Force must to be investigated from top to bottom, to the Mayors office and the State level

Will Trump tweet about these criminals,

or just disparage the agencies investigating them.
 
Baltimore PD sure is a mess. I feel sorry for whoever has to go through these dirty schmucks' cases that are now in question.

And it doesn't look like it ends there, seeing as someone is potentially obstructing justice (is that the right legal term or is it something else? Someone ask our resident lawyer Turtledude) by leaking info on the case in both the PD and the state's attorney's office.
 
Lived in Maryland for 20 years....Not shocking....
