Three Calgary officers who "made the police available for sale" have been sentenced to jail terms in a corruption case involving a woman who was stalked and harassed by them for months. Sheriffs escorted Morton and McNish into custody after Court of Queen's Bench Justice Bryan Mahoney handed down the sentences. The Waltons used the services of current and former Calgary police officers, including Morton, McNish and Braile. Prosecutors Leah Boyd, left, and Julie Snowdon said the 'public puts significant trust' in police officers, which is why they're held to a higher standard. "The public puts significant trust in [officers], they have significant powers and authorities and so it's important they not breach that trust," said Snowdon outside the courtroom after sentencing.
