The events surrounding the incarceration of Richard Wershe in 1987 - TopicsExpress



          

The events surrounding the incarceration of Richard Wershe in 1987 are a classic example of abuse of power and political corruption, says retired FBI agent Gregg Schwarz, who worked on the police corruption sting. Schwarz claims that the agents who promised Rick something in return for his cooperation in the sting reneged on their deal. Wershe is credited with helping the government disrupt several of the Detroits most brutal drug gangs in the 80s, including 30 members of the Best Friends crack-dealing crew, whom agents say killed more than 80 people. Wershes cooperation into the police corruption case led to 14 convictions of law enforcement officers and public officials. Ironically, some of the most notorious drug dealers and killers that White Boy Rick helped convict—as well as all the policemen—now are free. thefix/content/story-white-boy-rick-richard-wershe-detroit-corruption70041?page=all
