I find your defense of the conduct in this case fascinating and surprising, based on the kind of person I perceived you to be up until rather recently.
One woman did this and the prosecutor dropped the charges.
Nope, not right:
"Billy Don Wafer, was able to prove — through employee time sheets and his boss's testimony — that he was working at the time he was alleged by Mr. Coleman to have been selling cocaine. And the local district attorney, Terry McEachern, had to dismiss the case against a man named Yul Bryant after it was learned that Mr. Coleman had described him as a tall black man with bushy hair. Mr. Bryant was 5-foot-6 and bald."
From Arianna:
"Since the bust, Coleman's credibility has come under withering fire. Branded a "compulsive liar" by former coworkers and unfit for law enforcement work by a sheriff he once served under, Coleman was even arrested for theft in the middle of the Tulia operation, but, amazingly, was still allowed to continue his undercover work. And the prosecution continued to trust him and rely on his word even after it was proven that he had perjured himself on the stand."
A disconcerting quote: ".... "Well, there are whole task forces of Tom Colemans out there."
(Not disconcerting to you, though, I'm sure.) |
