KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) – Defense attorneys are crying foul after an ex-Kenosha police officer admitted he planted evidence in a homicide investigation.

The Kenosha News reports (http://bit.ly/1w2xBwl ) that Kyle Baars admitted during a homicide trial this week that he planted an ID and a bullet in a backpack seized in a search stemming from an investigation into a fatal robbery.

Baars resigned in January amid an internal investigation into his actions.

"Resigned" so he can get hired at some other cop shop that doesn't check into his background of planting evidence.
Bastard should be in jail himself.

1. That's criminal. Arrest, charge and try him.

2. +1

6. Exactly. CHARGE HIM dammit.

[cui bono]

3. Yup. He needs to be behind bars.

For longer than a layperson since he was in a position of trusted authority when he committed the crime.

imho.

8. He would not be behind bars for long

Sending a cop to prison is akin to a death sentence.

Not that that should stop us from prosecuting and convicting the MF.

10. But if society don't use the order of law...

Then what changes to make sure that it won't happen again. Perhaps the asshole won't do it again and anyone else might not as well. Let him take his lunch with child molesters and RePUG fools, then he can wonder if he will get shanked by a convict who got placed in his seg. unit, by mistake.

4. Every case he ever worked on must now be reviewed.

7. This makes good sense.

12. except who will pay for the lawyers

the defendants prob can't

[rpannier]

5. Be curious who, if anybody, was with him when he planed the eveidence

On edit:

Now the DA is lying

District Attorney Robert Zapf says his office shared the information with defense attorneys in late January, within days of his office receiving Baars’ report about his conduct.

****
Yeah right. Sure they did. And the attorneys for the defendants said and did nothing until now? Oh please!

11. Zapf has a record of pulling crap like this.

He was cited by the Wisconsin Supreme Court for repeatedly withholding evidence from defense attorneys.
