A city cop was thrown in jail for two months after copping Wednesday to perjury and official misconduct for lying about a gun bust in Washington Heights.

NYPD Officer Sasha Cordoba, 35, falsely claimed she saw a 38-year-old suspect threaten another man with a gun and that she and her partner had seen it in his waistband on Nov. 6, 2014.

I guess she wasn't pro-Choice.

I'm glad she was convicted.

Still though two months isn't quite enough. She should get whatever the maximum that Choice could have gotten.

Especially since she had been convicted once before for being dirty. Even if a judge tossed the 2014 conviction on a technicality, the handwriting was on the wall. And she was too arrogant to learn from the 2014 case, so she went right on being dirty until it finally caught up with her (again).

When a cop/presecutor/other government employee LIES in an attempt to secure a conviction, IMHO they ought to get at least the same penalty the target of their lies was facing should they be convicted.

Begs the question: How many times did she get away with it?
In my opinion EVERY SINGLE arrest she ever made, every testimony she gave, every report and every statement she ever made is now compromised.

When a local detective refused to retire quietly following being busted for drug sales they threw the book at him and flushed the system. Every case with his name on it was Xmas for the defense attorneys. Most dismissed outright or given deals too good to pass on

You know, I was going to ask if you really meant that, even for capital offenses. And then I realized it made quite a bit of sense.

Especially capital cases.  There was a case I read about in Texas where the prosecutor in a capital case withheld evidence that proved the guy was not guilty.  I think the prosecutor eventually got in trouble for misconduct and the accused was released.  In an interview afterwards, the guy they tried to railroad said he thought the prosecutor should be tried for attempted murder.  Makes sense to me.
