Hundreds of convictions tied to nine dirty NYPD cops have been tossed following a review of the cases by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The 316 convictions — all misdemeanors save for eight felonies — were related to disgraced officers who have been found guilty of crimes including taking bribes, perjury, and official misconduct, while on the job, the DA’s office said.
“These cases represent hundreds of New Yorkers who have been living with the serious costs that come with a conviction, including barriers to employment, housing, and education,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
“Beyond these devastating impacts on the individuals directly impacted, our city is collectively harmed when we prevent our friends, family, and neighbors from living stable and successful lives.”
The cases, reviewed by the DA’s Post Conviction Justice Unit, happened between 1996 and 2007 and resulted in 57 incarcerations and 132 fines, Bragg said.
