I recall George Carlin joking one time that he was sure that half the people in prison were there for something they actually did. I now wonder if the number is that high?

Quote:Former Florida police officer admits to framing two black men amid false arrest scandal
Quote:Prosecutors said Ravelo, at the urging of his boss, arrested 35-year-old Clarens Desrouleaux in January 2013 for a pair of unsolved breakins. He wrongfully wrote in an arrest affidavit that Desrouleaux “had confessed to committing the burglary.”
A year later, he similarly framed 31-year-old Erasmus Banmah for five unsolved vehicle burglaries, despite knowing there was no evidence to support it. In filling out the required paperwork a few days later, Ravelo again “falsely claimed in an arrest affidavit that [Banmah] had taken him to the site of the respective burglary and confessed to the items that [he] had stolen,” according to court documents obtained by the Herald.
The charges against both men were eventually dropped.
