“Peter Tilem, a criminal defense lawyer and one-time ADA, has submitted an allegedly damning August deposition to Bronx DA Robert Johnson and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly from a former narcotics detective on the team. The ex-cop, Genaro Morales, testifying in an unrelated case, admitted that he knew of cops who lied under oath when he worked in the Bronx narcotics unit from the mid-1990s to 2006. The cops ‘were under tremendous pressure,’’ Tilem says in the letter. They would ‘fabricate stories of drug possession or drug sale in order to get their required number of arrests.'”
