PROVIDENCE — A jury is continuing its deliberations this morning in the Superior Court trial of suspended North Providence police Sgt. Michael Ciresi.
Ciresi is charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of conspiracy to commit burglary, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, receiving a stolen generator, receiving a stolen bracelet (a felony), attempted larceny from a stolen ATM, harboring and obstruction of a police officer.
The jury started its deliberations yesterday after listening to lawyers argue whether Ciresi was a “good cop” who has been falsely accused or a “dirty cop” who enlisted his drug-dealing informants to commit crimes for his financial gain.
Much of the closing arguments yesterday centered on charges linked to Ciresi’s alleged role in the burglary of a drug dealer’s apartment at 459 East Ave., Pawtucket, two days before Christmas 2004.
Jurors ordered lunch this morning, so they could be at work a while longer.
