Interesting. The story is ather ambiguous though. On the one hand it says that the charges are routinely dropped; on the other it says that he/some face sentences of up to 75 years imprisonment if convicted.

It would be even more interesting if the goings-on in one courtroom/city/state could be transferred and tried in a different region of the country. Hard to believe the plaintiffs (cops/judges/or whatever) wouldn't be laughed out of court.
