Trial 4 on Netflix is a great show and I highly recommend it. It is the story of how Boston police railroaded an innocent young man for the murder of a Boston cop. Detective Mulligan was killed execution style in his car in front of a Walgreens. Sean Ellis was a 19-year-old guy who happened to be buying diapers near the time of the shooting. He made an easy target for dirty cops who had reason to not pursue truth and justice to pin the murder on.
It is amazing how badly the government screwed up the investigation. How they allowed dirty cops to get involved in the investigation of the murder of a dirty cop is unconscionable. Just a couple lawyers and a private investigator working for the defendant were able to conduct a better investigation than the Boston PD who devoted thousands of dollars and 50 detectives.
Maybe the most disgusting part of the whole thing is how Sean’s lawyer did public record requests and was stymied for years by the government entities refusing to turn over the documents. Sean Ellis sat in prison for years longer than necessary because those evil bastards refused to turn over public records.
Sean’s lawyer was able to uncover shocking pieces of evidence against other suspects that the police ignored to railroad Sean Ellis. The other suspects had much more credible motives to execute Mulligan.
Then, after all that, these dirty, old, retired detectives have the gall to say that their investigation was clean. It goes back to my recurring question about cops: Are they lying or are they actually this stupid? It is shocking. Those deluded jerks will roast in hell if they don’t repent. They should be hung for what they did to an innocent man.
