Corrupt Philly Cop Pleads Guilty to Robbery, Weapons Charges, Turns State’s Evidence

Last year, the FBI
arrested veteran Philadelphia police officer Jeffrey Walker,
accusing him of planting drugs on and stealing money from suspects.
He has now pled guilty and is cooperating with the FBI in
identifying more corrupt cops, just as the drug dealer who turned
state’s evidence and provided the feds with incriminating evidence
against Walker. The local ABC affiliate
reports:

Since he was arrested Walker has been cooperating with
the FBI. That cooperation led to a search of the Schuylkill River
for a safe that was never found.

Walker has also been naming others.

His lawyer says the investigation involves too many cops and
civilians to count, and he says there’s a lot of money
involved.

“At the end of the day it’s going to result in a significant amount
of indictments, we believe, and significant police corruption being
uncovered in the city,” [his attorney Thomas] Fitzpatrick
said.

Walker is scheduled to be
sentenced in May. He faces up to life in prison and $500,000 in
fines. In November, 53 more convictions were
overturned because they relied at least in part on the
discredited work of Walker.
