4 Miami police officers 
convicted of corruption

MIAMI - In the biggest Miami police scandal
in a generation, a federal jury convicted 
four officers of corruption Wednesday for
planting a gun on an unarmed homeless man
or lying to cover it up.

Each convicted officer faces up to 10 years in
prison at sentencing Aug. 22.

Three others were acquited, and the judge
declared a mistrial for four more.
