Chief Polio defends Amy Bishop 1986 case

Retired Braintree Police Chief John Polio, who was chief when Amy Bishop shot her brother to death in 1986, was totally surprised by Saturdays press conference, called by the current chief Paul Frazier, who charged that files were missing and the case was not properly handled. Polio tells what happened in 1986 and why Amy Bishop was released and not charged, after an investigation by the State Police in the Norfolk District Attorneys office.

I have no information about a cover up (although it is apparent something in Denamark stinks). However it is a known fact that while Polio was in office there were more than 6 Braintree officers that sought transfers to other departments. This fact speaks to Polio's compentency as a police chief during his era

Civil Service? Polio's lack of action will become an area of study in Criminal Justice Classes! Much like the flawed original crime scene investigation of the O.J. Simpson Case! A lack of true attention to detail in Law Enforcement failed us! It happened again when Bishop clearly had a motive to send pipe bombs to her then supervisor who gave her a bad review! On two occasions, a lack of action by Law Enforcement Officials failed to prevent the eventual shooting in Huntsville Alabama!

Why would anyone ask this senile chimpanzee about something that happened almost 25 years ago? He was probably paid off by Amy Bishop's parents. All parties involved should have to go to court. The police didn't interview Amy Bishop until eleven days after the fatal shooting. I guess the cops were busy stuffing their faces with doughnuts and harassing innocent minorities. Most small town cops are nothing more than glorified meter maids with no idea who to handle real crimes.

He makes it sound as if a family murder in Braintree is just another day walking in the park. If there is a cover up I hope they take him to the cleaners.

Well okay, then.
