S.P. developed information via a confidential informant that a woman was in possession of a large amount of guns and drugs. Officer S.P. and his team of officers set up surveillance and stopped a vehicle matching the woman's description and subsequently placed her under arrest after they found guns and narcotics in her car. As the case developed through the prosecution stage, it was discovered that the estranged husband of the woman was responsible for setting up his wife by planting the guns and drugs in the vehicle. Officer S.P. was charged by the Cook County State's Attorney Office for suspected involvement in the set-up and alleged to have committed perjury as part of the conspiracy. A trial was held and we were able to convince the court that the statements purported to be perjurious failed to meet the legal definition of perjury. Accordingly, Officer S.P. was found not guilty and put back to work following the trial. 08 CR19286 (2010)
