Case Against Cops Collapses In Brooklyn Gambler Probe
New York September 20 prosecutors dismissed graft charges against 18 Brooklyn police officers after star witness Harry Gross refused to testify. Gross, 35, was sentenced to five years for contempt and faces further penalties on guilty pleas. The case collapsed as two prosecutors quit the trial and Brooklyn Judge Leibowitz freed the officers, leaving the grand jury with little to salvage. A rumored 5,000 payoff kept Gross from testifying, derailing 20 months of investigation into a $20,000-a-year gambling ring led by Gross.
