A veteran Oakland police officer has been charged with committing perjury and bribery during a 2016 murder trial, forcing prosecutors to review the 125 homicide cases he was involved as an investigator.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Y. Price announced that charges were filed Tuesday against Oakland Police Officer Phong Tran for committing perjury on the stand.
"Lying and manipulating a witness are serious violations of the public trust, and Officer Tran will be held accountable," Price said in a news release."When the integrity of a conviction is at issue in one case, it raises questions in every other case that officer has investigated. The people of Alameda County need to have confidence in the criminal justice system, and these charges are a step forward toward regaining that trust.
The Oakland Police Officers' Association responded quickly to the charges, expressing anger over what it called"baseless" charges as well as confidence that Tran will be cleared of any wrongdoing.
