Well "Experts" are always picked to agree with the side they were hired for. Prosecutors have deep pockets so the average Joe does not stand a chance. I had a felony charge back in 2008 that was fabricated. Yes everyone says that I know. I was proactive and met with the director of the LEA board and his inspector and of course they were siding with the officer because the criminal complaint says this. Well after about 6 months the inspector started believing me and over a period of a year I continued to be a presence at the board meetings. The officer was pushed to the top of the list to be investigated. I had a civil suit against the officer at the same time which fell through. The officers witness, who was an off duty cop, refuted everything the arresting officer said. Then to rub salt into the wounds the appellate court said even though the officer was not behind me that he had reasonable cause to charge me. So everything that elevated it to a felony was what he "Witnessed me doing". So, the LEA board knew they needed to do something, but their hands were tied, because I lost the case. I wait for the day I am called for jury duty it is going to be an interesting experience. With everything that has happened as of late we need to revisit Qualified Immunity. No one is talking about it. If an officer knows he doesn't have a get out of jail free card then they may make better decisions. Some of the incidences that have happened, makes me sick knowing these officers were not charged and convicted of murder. Personally it ruined my career for 6 years. I was very productive and good at my job but I was obsessing constantly and it affected all parts of my life. If I disclose it before a background check then there is total silence. Good think is I pass my background checks for the government and having the Nolle with prejudice helps.
