<p>A former New Orleans policeman has been convicted of shooting a man dead in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and another officer for burning his body.</p>
<p>And in one of the ugliest chapters in the police department&#8217;s troubled history, a jury also convicted a third officer of writing a false report on the shooting of 31-year-old Henry Glover.</p>
<p>Two others were acquitted of charges stemming from the alleged cover-up.</p>
<p>The New Orleans jury of five men and seven women convicted David Warren of the manslaughter of Mr Glover outside a shopping mall on September 2 2005. Prosecutors said Warren shot the unarmed man in the back.</p>
<p>Officer Gregory McRae was convicted of burning Mr Glover&#8217;s body in a car. Lieutenant Dwayne Scheuermann was acquitted of that charge and both officers were also cleared of beating the men who had brought the dying Mr Glover to a makeshift police compound in search of help.</p>
<p>Lt Travis McCabe was convicted of writing a false report on the shooting and lying to the FBI and a grand jury. Lt Robert Italiano was cleared of submitting the false report and lying to the FBI. &#8220;This was a case that needed to be aired,&#8221; US District Judge Lance Africk said after the verdicts were read.</p>
<p>But Rebecca Glover, Mr Glover&#8217;s aunt, said: &#8220;This has been a long, anguishing time. All of them should have been found guilty. They were all in on it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Warren, 47, who has been in custody since his indictment earlier this year, faces a maximum life sentence.</p>
<p>A total of 20 current or former New Orleans police officers have been charged this year in a series of US Justice Department civil rights investigations. The probe into Mr Glover&#8217;s death was the first of those cases to be tried.</p>
<p>It is not the first time government authorities have tried to clean up the city&#8217;s police force. The Justice Department launched a broad review of the force in the 1990s, when it was reeling from a string of lurid corruption cases. An officer, Antoinette Frank, was convicted of killing her patrol partner in a 1995 robbery. Another officer, Len Davis, was convicted of arranging the 1994 murder of a woman who had filed a brutality complaint against him.</p>
