The detective should get the death penalty. He tried to get someone executed. That should be at least life in prison.
And I would be other cops knew about it. But that thin blue line is never crossed. That’s why I have no respect for cops. They’re all on power trips.
I was watching The First 48 a few years ago about a murder in Memphis. This cop honed in on this kid and was convinced he was the killer. Then evidence exonerated him. The cop kept saying “Man, I was wrong. I’m going to have to be more open minded in the future.” I thought “Yeah, and if the cameras weren’t on your corrupt ass that kid would be on death row by now.”
