Suspects #1 and #2

Link To FBI FILE of PHOTOS

Sergeant Bradley Rosh was one of the six Miami-Dade police officers accused of leaking police reports on Trayvon Martin to the media.  His accuser was former M-DSPD Police Chief Hurley, a man furious about the media becoming aware of Trayvon Martins’ encounters with MDSPD enforcement.

Sergeant Rosh was part of the team close to Commander Fox-Williams, and his affidavit outlines how he supported her duties and took case instructions from her as needed.  One event outlined was the M-DSPD being approached by a Channel 7 news reporter, Rosh Lowe, who was seeking more information about Trayvon Martin and his encounters with the police.

Sgt. Rosh intercepted Lowe in the lobby of M-DSPD and after finding out what Lowe needed Rosh relayed the request to Fox-Williams.   She in turn instructed Rosh to inform Lowe that any and all questions needed to go directly through the police chief. (more…)

UPDATE:  Thankfully there are fewer people reported as killed from initial reports.  However, that is little comfort amid the backdrop of man still missing.
