Bail Hearing for Cops Accused of Cover-up

Three police officers charged with participating in a cover-up of the fatal beating of a Mexican immigrant in Pennsylvania are facing a bail hearing. The three officers have been charged by federal prosecutors with altering evidence and lying in a case against two white high school football players.

An indictment says one officer dated the mother of an accused player and another had a son on the team. It says the officers let the players go rather than arrest them after the 2008 beating. The officers have pleaded not guilty. They were jailed before Wednesday’s bail hearing. The former athletes are charged with a federal hate crime. They were acquitted of the most serious state charges against them in May.
