Koch and Vera were placed on modified duty after Internal Affairs determined that there were materially false statements in Koch's affidavit and that Vera had provided some of the information used to obtain the warrant.[b] Sources have told The Journal News that the false information related to an informant who police could not have spoken with because he was incarcerated at the time.[/b] Vera is being represented by Andrew Quinn, the lawyer for the Yonkers PBA. He declined to comment. Koch's lawyer could not be reached for comment. [/quote] This cracks open a whole new window of all the arrests and bad warrants issued that haven't been challenged.
