 A judge has tossed out 53 drug convictions because the cases may have been compromised by a Philadelphia narcotics officer arrested in a federal corruption sting.

Walker, a 22-year-veteran of the force who spent 14-years in the Narcotics Unit, was arrested in May following an FBI sting that lasted several weeks.
