The mainstream U.S. media is not reporting on the number of New Orleans cops on trial for murders they committed after hurricane Katrina.

A witness for the Federal government, and former New Orleans detective, Jeffrey Lehrmann, testified on July 11, that he helped to cover up murders committed by cops.

Lehrman said the cover ups included falsifying paperwork and planting false evidence, like guns, on the victims.

Five former, and current, New Orleans cops are on trial for shooting and killing people, including a mentally handicapped man, and then lying about it.

Already five former cops, including Lehrman, pleaded guilty.  Lehrman is serving three years for his part in trying to cover up the crimes.
