Two Newark police officers, accused of beating a suspect and planting
marijuana on him, have been acquitted of assault and official misconduct
charges. But the jury, in its ruling Wednesday, found one of the officers,
Agostinho Morais, guilty of false swearing, for signing a complaint
charging the suspect with intent to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet
of a school. Officer Morais's lawyer said he would appeal the
conviction. (NYT)
