A Philadelphia judge on Tuesday dismissed all charges against police officer Mark Dial, ruling that prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to show that his fatal shooting of Eddie Irizarry was a crime.
The decision led to an outburst of support from dozens of police officers who had gathered in the courtroom to support Dial. But Irizarry’s relatives were outraged. Speaking outside the courthouse afterward, his aunt, Zoraida Garcia, said: “The officers can go out here and kill a person that’s not doing anything and get away with murder, because this is what it was.”and charged with first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and related offenses.
But Dial’s attorneys had said the officer thought his partner yelled “gun,” and that Dial shot Irizarry out of self defense.
