To hear convicted felon and former cop Ronald Watts tell it, as he did in a recent interview, everyone else is to blame for his corruption.
Watts is the disgraced former Chicago police sergeant responsible for one of the city’s worst cases of police corruption. He and his team of officers shook down alleged drug dealers in the Ida B. Well housing projects, planted evidence and falsely arrested innocent residents on drug charges. The end result: Over 200 wrongful convictions that were eventually tossed out or vacated.
