âSomeone on the list is one of my favorite police officers,â she said.
Williamstown has been struggling with issues of race and policing as a result of the Black Lives Matter movement and allegations of past racial and sexual harassment at the Police Department. Harrington was invited to the Williamstown Select Board meeting Monday to talk about the Brady policy and how the process functions.
It is an issue for Williamstown because a town police officer is on the Berkshire County Brady list.
Harringtonâs office released its Brady list in October 2020. It provides the names of police officers who should not be considered credible courtroom witnesses in criminal trails because of documented wrongdoing or misconduct. Prosecutors have an obligation to protect the constitutional rights of defendants to exculpatory evidence to ensure a fair trial, Harrington noted.
