The judge in the case against the Philadelphia police officer seen on video shooting Eddie Irizarry last month dismissed all charges, including a murder count, onTuesday.
Officer Mark Dial was charged with murder and several other counts this month in Irizarry's death after surveillance video and police body camera footage showed him opening fire multiple times as Irizarry sat in his car on a Kensington street. Dial was fired earlier this month "for insubordination." The police commissioner said Dial refused to obey orders from a superior officer and failed to cooperate with the department's investigation.
Judge Wendy L. Pew cited a "lack of evidence" for throwing out the case after a preliminary hearing.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
