Florida: Three Ex-Police Officers Plead Guilty to Framing Black Men
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, three former police officers pleaded guilty in connection
with the framing of innocent black men in Biscayne Park. The officers
admitted to making false arrests as part of a scheme orchestrated by
former police chief Raimundo Atesiano to benefit his department's crimes
record. Atesiano pleaded guilty last month to depriving three innocent
black men of their civil rights by framing them.
