Art Del Gado


I did not see season 1. They keep (in season 2) mentioning Art DelGado, but I do not know/understand who he is/was. Who is/was he?

What I remember is that he was a career cop who was no longer working due to some sort of disability, but I can't remember if it was physical or mental. He hadn't quite reached the legal retirement age, so in order for him not to lose his pension benefits, Furillo was still turning in timesheets for him and letting him get paid even though he was no longer working. I don't recall that this Art Del Gado ever appeared on screen, although I could be wrong about that, but it became an issue and there was a scene in a courtroom where Furillo admitted to cheating the system for him and said he would not sell him out.
