The initial report stated a police informant gave bad information. Was it later determined the judge screwed up?--
_____________________________________
An informant said that Spruill's sixth-floor Harlem apartment was being used by an armed drug dealer to stash cocaine and heroin, police officials said.
Pretty much.
The papers all said the cops got a bad tip, and had flimsey information.
The NYPD had an internal investigation.
At which point the papers moved on.
Months later, it became clear that the judge screwed up, but while that was being admitted, the NYPD was talking about higher proof being needed for asking for search warrants.
The judge never should have given a warrant, and to top it off, he had the wrong address given to the cops.
I'm trying to remember the judges name, I know he is still on the bench and something happened late last year involving him (not in any way related to this case, it was something dumb, court room expences or something like that).
