Now, this is strange
Albany County authorities have cut a deal with an armed robber, with past violent record, to testify in a misdemeanor case involving alleged false accusations against officers. Under it, the robber will serve three years. Around here, if he had a prior felony record (the story isn't clear), he'd have done more like 15, ten of it without chance of parole.

It's hard to convict police officers. Sounds like a good deal for the prosecutors.

It's really hard to convict police officers when have the DA's participation.
