East Cleveland Cops Railroaded: A Judge, A PR Scheme, and a Broken Justice System
Manage episode 477217635 series 3597879
Three East Cleveland police officers were just sentenced to prison in what looks less like justice and more like a political sacrifice. đ¨ Judge Sherrie Midayâwho happens to be married to Prosecutor Michael O'Malleyâs communications directorâpresided over a case riddled with conflicts, withheld evidence, expert witness suppression, and burden-shifting rulings. The facts? Ignored. The law? Twisted. The damage? Catastrophicânot just to the officers, but to the safety of the entire city. Violent crime has skyrocketed while the so-called âaccountabilityâ circus played out like scripted performance art.
In this episode, The Infamous Ex-Chief exposes how this courtroom farce unfolded: from emotional testimony with no legal weight to unqualified bloggers influencing sentencing, and a union system that went silent. If you're a cop in a poor, politically abandoned city, this is your warningâyou are expendable.
đď¸ This isnât just commentaryâitâs a siren.
âď¸ Itâs time to shake the system.
