"Police officer accused of misleading court in ’09 case; Facts withheld, lawyer contends" by Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | June 9, 2010
A Boston police officer under investigation for allegedly giving contradictory testimony in a 2008 federal case is now being accused of misleading a Suffolk Superior Court during a jury trial, which ended in the conviction and a four- to six-year prison sentence for a Dorchester man....
It is CALLED LYING, Globe!
Earl Grant, who is now 45, was found guilty by a jury of unlawful possession of a firearm in January 2009. He was sentenced as a career criminal because he had two prior drug convictions.

He had at least one, White said: He had been reprimanded in 2006 for failing to report he had used force during a 2005 arrest.
In addition, three months before he testified in the Grant trial, a federal judge had accused him of giving contradictory testimony in the case of a Mattapan man arrested on gun charges in July 2007....
Oh, a PATTERN, huh?
ONCE is an ERROR or MISTAKE!
TWICE.... ?!!!??
Cooley, 34, was not in court yesterday and could not be reached for comment. A message left at his home was not immediately returned.
“Officer Cooley is a hard-working officer,’’ said Elaine Driscoll, Boston police spokeswoman, who referred questions about the Grant case to the district attorney’s office....
Yeah, he WORKS REAL HARD at FRAMING PEOPLE and TELLING LIES!
