A Springfield detective was caught on video telling two juvenile suspects that he would brutalize them or plant drug evidence on them — but nearly two years after the video became public, he's still on the force and is up for promotion.
Judges threw out dozens of drug convictions because the videos tainted the detective's credibility, according to MassLive.com.
A judge found Philip Scott Fournier guilty of murder in a jury-waived trial for the killing of Joyce McLain in East Millinocket, Maine.
The victim was 16 years old in August 1980 when her body was found naked except for socks and sneakers with her hands bound behind her back and a jagged wound in the back of her head.
