"I said that it's time for the Police Department to comply with the intent of the legislature, and start enforcing the law that makes perjury a felony. Investigate complaints of perjury and false reporting, the same as any other criminal complaint. I asked him to order offi cers to investigate my client's complaint. He said he would look into it, but he did nothing. So Reyes decided to sue. I was with the Public Defenders' Offi ce, so I couldn't represent or advise him and, naturally, he couldn't fi nd another attorney to help him in any way. So I put him in touch with Bowker and, although it was illegal for him to do so, Bowker secretly guided Reyes through the maze that led to a trial a year later. There Foster did the same thing Yancy had done years earlier. He fl at-out lied under oath. Committed perjury in federal court. Like Yancy had done, he swore to the court that there was no perjury decriminalization policy.

"Terry calmly presented his evidence that there was such a policy, including a recording of an offi cer saying, 'It's our policy not to investigate complaints of perjury.' It looked like Terry might actually have a chance. The media started reporting on the trial. Talk shows and blogs were all over the story and the issue of perjury decriminalization. But one morning Terry didn't show up in court. A few days later Bowker disappeared. Their bodies were never found, but no one doubted they had been murdered. The trial ended. Press coverage ended. Foster continued business as usual. He's been Chief for most of my years as a lawyer, and he's helped destroy more lives than I can count. He knows exactly what he's doing, and he's remorseless. He has to go."

Ryan said, "Foster's a great target selection. But why would he be easier than Bertoli?"

"Bertoli's paranoid, obsessively observant, and always alert. He knows I hate him and he wouldn't give me the time of day. Foster's a closet alcoholic, which has made him sluggish. He's stupid enough to think I respect him.
