Oakland Police Officer Faces Charges of Perjury, Bribery, and Witness Tampering.

Oakland police officer Phong Tran has been charged with perjury and bribery during a 2016 murder trial, leading to the review of 125 homicide cases he was involved in as an investigator. Tran was charged with two felony counts of perjury under oath and for lying under oath during a murder trial in 2016 and at a preliminary hearing in 2014. He was also charged with felony subordination of perjury under oath, felony bribery of a witness, and felony attempted bribery of a witness. The two murder convictions in the case were thrown out last year when an eyewitness came forward again, this time to retract.
