Reply to comment by Bunzilla in Boston police account for $31 million of city legal payouts since 2020, including $16 million for wrongfully convicted man - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
This might just be semantics, but the cops “put together the case” by gathering enough evidence and probable cause to arrest someone. The DA then signs off on it and prosecutes the case.
