: TalkLeftNew Orleans Officers Charged in Post-Katrina Deaths
By Jeralyn
The Obama Adminisration may be serious about ramping up the civil rights division.
Six New Orleans police officers have been charged in the post-Kaatrina deaths of unarmed civilians on the Danziger Bridge on September 4, 2005.
The 27 count Indictment alleges some ugly facts. Five other former police officers have pleaded guilty and admitted that they participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice and cover up what happened that date.
The four officers charged with killing civilians face maximum penalties of life in prison or the death penalty. The officers face additional penalties for the remaining counts, which include charges related to a conspiracy to cover up what had happened on the bridge, and conspiracies to file charges against two of the victims, Lance Madison and Jose Holmes, on the basis of false evidence.
The other two face 70 and 120 years.
The New York Times reports eight other incidents of alleged police misconduct are still under investigation.
