[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1422118, member: 1294"] So we have innocent people going to prison and guilty people getting out.... [url]http://www.themonitor.com/articles/probe-45786-corruption-tulsa.html[/url] Corruption probe leads to conviction of illegal immigrant being vacated December 29, 2010 8:28 AM TULSA, Okla. A Tulsa County judge has vacated an illegal immigrant's felony drug conviction in the latest of a series of legal cases affected by an ongoing probe into police corruption in Tulsa. The immigrant, 23-year-old Ruben Flores-Olmos, had alleged that a Tulsa police officer and a federal agent planted drugs on him. Citing court records, the Tulsa World is reporting that District Judge William Kellough vacated Flores-Olmos conviction on Monday. District Attorney Tim Harris office asked to dismiss the case without prejudice because of the involvement of an indicted police officer and ex-federal agent. Flores-Olmos had been convicted in March 2007. He is the 27th person who has been freed from prison, had charges dismissed, had sentences reduced or been granted a new trial as a result of the federal probe. And isn't it ironic...don'tcha think? ~Alanis Morissette [/QUOTE]
