Some DA's have a "do not call" list of bad cops

 Berkshire County District Attorney Andrea Harrington earlier this week became the latest Massachusetts DA to publicly release a list of police officers her office tracks whose past conduct may raise questions about their credibility in court.

Harrington sent her office's newly compiled list to staff in a memo Friday evening, and provided it to WBUR in response to a public records request.

The list contained the names of eight officers, from four different departments.

Three other state district attorneys' offices keep similar lists. Also known as “Brady,” “disclosure” or “do-not-call” lists, the documents name officers flagged by prosecutors as either having engaged in — or been accused of — misconduct that the DA's office might legally need to disclose to the defense under the landmark 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Brady v. Maryland.

As WBUR previously reported, five DA offices said they do not keep any such officer disclosure lists. They are Bristol, Essex, Plymouth, Worcester and the Cape and Islands.

As of August, Middlesex DA Marian Ryan had 124 officers from 37 different departments on her Brady list, and Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey maintained a disclosure list of 38 officers.

 Framingham has 6 total on the list, 5 are gone, one is still employed at FPD and he happens to be the DEA liaison and one of the biggest trouble makers on the force. He has sued the Town and lost.
