The police already screwed it up. They have massive chain of evidence issues, some evidence has been excluded, and more of this will be brought up during the trial.

We also have a massive issue where the lead investigator has admitted to wiretapping without consent which is a felony in Pennsylvania. Yet he has not been charged with a crime.

This puts the police departments in a bad position. They don’t want to take corrective action now to fix their policies or to punish their employees because that would weaken the case against Luigi. But if they don’t take corrective action then there’s a conspiracy to cover up wrongdoing, and that could make the case against Luigi even weaker.

And I use the word conspiracy but actually it’s not very hidden. If there’s plainly evidence that the cops did the wrong thing and none of the city or county or state level prosecutors, or their superiors, take any legal or disciplinary action, then that’s sufficient to show that they are cooperating to cover up bad actions.
