Numerous Suffolk police detectives and officers who helped disgraced former Chief of Department James Burke cover up his beating of a heroin-addicted thief have been arrested and pleaded guilty in secret proceedings in federal court, according to a motion filed in state Supreme Court.
The motion, filed on Wednesday on behalf of the man whom Burke beat, Christopher Loeb of Smithtown, seeks to undo Loeb’s guilty pleas to grand larceny and drug possession because of the beating and police perjury during a pretrial hearing in 2013. Loeb was sentenced to 3 years in prison in 2014.
