Three Queens women are suing the city for $120,000, claiming cops left a mess of blood and bodily fluid in their driveways and walkways. In 2008 the neighborhood was flooded with sirens and lights when 31-year-old Sheldon Francis was shot dead. Officers told frightened residents to stay inside, and said they’d be back to deal with the cleanup, the suit alleges. But not only did they not return, claim the women, they provided no instruction on how to clean the bloody pavement. Grace Scott was haunted by the damned spots which she scrubbed with peroxide and finally got rid of by paying $4000 to replace the concrete. "I don't know how to clean up blood," the 56-year-old lamented, according to the Post. "It was embedded." The NYPD says crime-scene cleanup isn’t its job. more ›

The bullet riddled sedan was thus examined closely during the trial to decipher whether evidence substantiated officers' claims or disputed them. more ›
