Former Baltimore gun squad cops convicted of racketeering, robbery

BALTIMORE – Two Baltimore police detectives were convicted of racketeering and robbery Monday in a trial that's part of an ongoing federal investigation into corruption among rogue members of the city's beleaguered police force.

Detectives Daniel Hersl and Marcus Taylor were shackled and led out of the courtroom after the verdict was read.

Federal jurors deliberated for two days after hearing nearly three weeks of testimony centered on details of police wrongdoing. The jury was released late Thursday afternoon after a few hours and returned to their deliberations Monday morning.

Hersl and Taylor faced robbery, extortion and racketeering charges that could land them up to life in prison. They were convicted of racketeering and robbery under the Hobbs Act, which prohibits interference with interstate commerce, but were cleared of possessing a firearm in pursuance of a violent crime.

Hersl put his head down and shook it as the verdict was read. Taylor had little reaction. Hersl's family in the gallery wept and his father called out, "Stay strong, Danny."

  2. Hang on a second, so you're telling me we shouldn't blindly support anyone with a badge because they too can be criminals?

  3. Anyone else notice when it is a cop they go to jail. When it is the likes of Al Sharpton and the Clintons they write another book and get paid speaking engagements. Hang all the politicians and judges.
