[COLOR="#a724317"]Five former Toronto police drug squad officers have been found guilty of attempting to obstruct justice after a months-long trial and eight full days of deliberation by a jury.
John Schertzer, Ned Maodus, Raymond Pollard, Steven Correia and Joseph Miched had been variously charged with obstructing justice, perjury, assault and extortion in relation to a series of incidents in which it was alleged they beat up and robbed drug dealers and then lied to cover it up.
In the end, all five men were found guilty in Ontario Superior Court late Wednesday afternoon of falsifying notes in relation to the search of an Eglinton Avenue East apartment in February 1998 that was carried out without a warrant.
Pollard, Maodus and Correia were also found guilty of perjury for lying during a preliminary inquiry related to the raid.[/COLOR]
