Judge dismisses case against former NYPD narcotics detective

A judge Tuesday abruptly dismissed the case against a former NYPD narcotics detective on trial for allegedly lying about drug deals. CBS2's Jessica Moore shows us the judge says prosecutors withheld evidence from Joseph Franco's attorneys.

Are we really surprised a judge would dismiss a case against a dirty cop ? The judge is probably dirty himself.

[jeffreyholmes]

So bottom line is he's guilty of ruining people's lives and because they withheld information, he got off Scott free and what we supposed to feel sorry for him, what about his victims... 🙄

[DavidMueller]

THEY DID NOT DECLARE HIM TO BE INNOCENT.

[dianadowie]

Wow! We supposed to feel sorry for him? When he ruined other people's lives?

[waregeeksny]

So bad prosecution leads to a criminal cop getting off. How many cases are they ruining?

[malenurse]

It’s nice to see the system protecting its own. DA is part of the police department. So they made sure he was found innocent. They also made sure he could sue, and get his benefits. What a great system.

THAT JUDGE NEED TO BE IN TROUBLE AND REMOVE OFF THE BENCH ALL THOSE CONVICTION THAT WERE THROUGH OUT. AND SOME PEOPLE WENT TO JAIL AND MAYBE DID NOT EVEN DO THE CRIME. HE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS MEDICAL BENFITS GET MEDICAID LIKE EVERONE ELSE HOW DARE YOU MESS UP PEOPLE LIVES AND THEN ASK ABOUT MEDICAL BENFITS

[ctjk]

to say that prosecutors fu*ke up is a understatement. but the good news is that a lot of people who should' ve neve got into trouble will now have their verdicts thrown out.

[LRLoud]

So now do they go back and process those cases they dismissed

[mrcatfish]

Least they can do is give the man his benefits. Screw it.

[DRACOFURY]

*Uh.... He Still Wasn't Cleared Not Guilty*
Joseph Franco Is A True Model Of The NYPD And Every Cop Should Try To Be Jus Like Him....

[newyorkcity]

Lack of experience for prosecutor to prove the case

[waynejacksongalloway]

It’s so nice that a judge dismiss charges on a criminal. He did everything in his power to convict individuals showing he wasn’t working by the regulation set forth by the police department, and yet we find a way to dismiss his charges and let him walk free. what about all the families back at hemmed up in his little game?

[ishaqluqmansr.]

He's going to be employed with nypd as of right now 🤨

[williamwilson]

It not a corrupt judge, it’s a corrupt prosecutor.

[texasbuyer]

That's what you get when you quota hire cop's and DAs

[waynejacksongalloway]

If he had not stepped outside the law and falsified information and entrapped for basically entrapped individuals into drug deals by my expectation, then he wouldn’t be worried about losing these things. He lost these things because he did things unbecoming of an officer, and he shouldn’t be whining about them.

[wack]

All these cases against these cops are bogus

[Smith]

Good ol boys looking out for each other.

[yrorellana]

this undercover arrested many GOOD INNOCENT ??CRIMINALS
