CLEVELAND, Ohio (PNN) - February 24, 2015 - Terrorist pig thug cop Michael Brelo is preparing to stand trial for a November 29, 2012 shooting in which he and 12 other terrorist pig thug cops fired 137 shots at multiple unarmed victims.
Brelo stands accused of firing 46 shots, some while on the hood of the victims’ car. The shooting resulted in the murders of Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams, two unarmed victims who fled a traffic stop.
Brelo claims that he is innocent, but prosecutors are accusing him, his attorney and the terrorist pig thug cop union of a massive cover-up.
Brelo and one of the other terrorist pig thug cops involved in the murder that night, James Hummel, exchanged text messages just after leaving the scene of the crime. The terrorist pig thug cops openly discussed being aware that the victims were unarmed.
In the hours following the shooting, terrorist pig thug cop James Hummel sent texts in which he said “they all knew” neither of the victims had a gun - that the terrorist pig thug cops had mistaken a silver can of soda pop for a weapon, prosecutors said.
The texts said that what some of the terrorist pig thug cops had suspected were gunshots were actually backfires from the fleeing car, that Brelo “was going to be in trouble,” and that “everyone knew Brelo did something wrong,” prosecutors said.
Throughout the course of the investigation, the terrorist pig thug cop union told the terrorist pig thug cops involved to deny any wrongdoing in the case and to remain silent in front of prosecutors.
“Hummel asked (that) they not be present, didn’t feel comfortable talking in front of them,” Assistant County Prosecutor Sherri Royster said in court.
This week, the prosecution requested that defense attorney Pat D’Angelo be removed from the case because he was involved in the cover-up, and that would represent a conflict of interest.
Brelo’s trial is scheduled to start in April, where he will face charges of voluntary manslaughter. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a maximum of 22 years in prison.
