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.
