You sound as though you know what you are talking about, Equalizer. Yup, Ratman is a goner and I don't think he can avoid going to jail for a bit. Rumor had it he checked into South Oaks around the time he retired.
You know all I ever really wanted was for someone, anyone of any authority admit they framed my former son in law. Ratman played a major role in that when he lied on the stand as to the circumstances of the burglary. ALL that useless IAB had to do was to read his testimony at the trial and they would know it was a LIE. Three cops that happened to stop in when Ratman testified left the courtroom in horror. He followed them out and yelled at them for being there. That was followed by a call to the precinct by that idiot Dormer ordering them to write a letter why they thought they should come to a trial. I was there and I know they came in with an open mind and they certainly didn't leave that way. The higher echelon of the SCPD is a disgrace, at least it was back then.
