Watts and his team worked in the Ida B. Wells housing project, where residents contended for years that the entire unit was dirty and scores of residents had been framed on drug charges. Both the FBI and an undercover team of Chicago Police officers investigated the Watts officers. In the end, only Watts and one other officer, Kallat Mohammed, were criminally charged, and both went to prison. But amid the exploding scandal involving allegations of wrongdoing by other officers on the Watts team, more than 100 convictions have been overturned. Among those cases, Watts and his unit were accused of framing a man named Ben Baker, who was arrested in 2005 and eventually sentenced to 14 years in prison. The COPA report specifically referred to the Baker case.
