Philly Cop Covered in "Tainted Justice" Newspaper Series And Book "Busted" Fired By Commissioner
Vinny Vella and Barbara Laker offer a piece in the Philadelphia Daily News on the firing of Jeffrey Cujdik, one of the Philadelphia narcotics officers covered in Barbara Laker and Wendy Ruderman's Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper series, Tainted Justice, and their subsequent book, Busted: A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love.
A Measure of justice finally may have come to the alleged victims of a tainted narcotics squad.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey announced yesterday that Officer Jeffrey Cujdik has been suspended for 30 days with intent to dismiss, the Inquirer reported last night.
