| Government Witness Planned Crimes |
Portland Police Intelligence and the FBI had the
case solved before Robert Patrick McSherry's
arrest. He bailed out the day after he was
arrested and expressed instant remorse for his
actions. His wife, Debbie, told police where to
find him because she was concerned about his
safety.
Police chose McSherry to be their star Federal
and State Grand Jury
witness
because he had a wife and two children. They
didn't need any information from him.
McSherry wrote and planned the gang's crimes.
McSherry received Probation on all State and
Federal charges. He said he cooperated because
his mother was gravely ill and it was apparent
that someone had snitched. Alot of people
provided police with information during their
investigation. Former Seattle ACLU director,
Michael H. Rosen, said he found out there was a
renegade agent involved but offered no other
details. He added that paid FBI informers were
legally liable for criminal activities.
Identities and roles of the FBI informers are
protected from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information and Federal Privacy Acts.
