What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Not sure how I got on their list, but I now get a copy of our local court reports via e-mail daily.
The headline is "Look who got busted!"
After checking out the arraignments and dispositions for a few months now, it seems that a rather large number of defendants in our small town are found not guilty, or their charges are dismissed.
I've heard a lot of horror stories about bully/abusive cops, but my experience with them has primarily been with cops who are just sort of lazy and/or not
very bright.
My question is, how do I find out the rate of convictions from charges stemming from our local police department?
Our courthouse deals with multiple town departments, but I am only interested in the one in my town. Thanks!
