Suspects should go free unless cops have bodycam footage, prosecutor says

The Broward State Attorney’s Office is standing behind a prosecutor who suggested that police should not be believed unless they record their arrests and other interactions on camera.
“Any arrest made without backup body camera footage should be ruled void and the suspect should walk immediately,” Assistant State Attorney Jeff Chukwuma posted on his Instagram page. “Any allegation of misconduct reported against an officer without backup body camera footage should be presumed to be true.”
In his post, Chukwuma said he developed the list with his brother as a “starting point" for reforms. In addition to the body camera issue, he listed seven other suggestions aimed at holding rogue police officers accountable to improve relations with the community. Some are not controversial, but others have police wondering if Chukwuma can be fair with their cases.
“Mr. Chukwuma claims that any allegation of misconduct without video shall be presumed to be truthful,” which “completely ignores the presumption of innocence guaranteed to all citizens,” wrote Broward Police Benevolent Association President Rod Skirvin in a letter to State Attorney Mike Satz.

Skirvin compared Chukwuma’s post to one that got another prosecutor fired earlier this week — prosecutor Amy Bloom lost her job within hours of going on Facebook and calling anti-police brutality demonstrators “obnoxious protesters” and “animals.” She promptly deleted the post and replaced it with one saying she was referring only to violent demonstrators and looters.

Skirvin said Chukwuma, a prosecutor for three years now assigned to the Felony Trial Unit, deserved the same fate for statements Skirvin said were “more alarming.”
Satz disagreed.
“Mr. Chukwuma expressed to us that he was trying to articulate reforms that could be made to cause greater transparency, and therefore increase credibility of law enforcement in our community," Satz wrote in a reply to Skirvin. “Mr. Chukwuma advised us that his suggestions were aspirational and in no way indicate a bias against police.”

The State Attorney’s Office has championed the expansive use of body cameras by police, Satz noted.
Satz also dismissed the comparison between Chukwuma’s Instagram post and Bloom’s statement on Facebook — Bloom’s called people animals, while Chukwuma’s sought to “enhance law enforcement’s credibility in our community.”
Skirvin said Friday he was not satisfied with Satz’s response, but the union has not decided whether or how to follow up. “We definitely feel this prosecutor has a bias against police officers,” he said. “We’re not going to allow police officers to be vilified in the community and presumed to be criminals.”
He said if police are suspended without pay every time they discharge their weapon or use deadly force, as Chukwuma’s post advocated, it would paralyze officers who are justified in protecting themselves or others from harm.

In a separate letter, Satz’s office promised the Broward Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers it would review cases that Bloom handled.
Assistant Public Defender Ruby Green, president of the defense lawyers’ group, asked the State Attorney’s Office to make sure black defendants prosecuted by Bloom were treated fairly.
“Senior prosecutors will now conduct an initial review of a significant sampling of closed cases that were handled by the former prosecutor to see if any further action is required,” Chief Assistant State Attorney Jeff Marcus replied. “Any attorney or individual who has any reason to believe a case was handled inappropriately is asked to provide our office with details and we will review any concerns.”

I'm guessing because Chukwuma is a minority he won't be terminated for the same thing ASA Bloom (white female) was terminated for.......shocker! But of course there's no double standard. Maybe Chukwuma should resign and go to the PD's office where he'd be more comfortable with his cases. Let me be clear here, LEO's no longer trust Chukwuma either. I would never trust him to properly prosecute a case.
