US EditionJury Reaches Mixed Verdict in Trial of Ex-Philadelphia Officer Mark Dial in Fatal Shooting of Eddie Irizarry | News Channel 3-12
- The jury returned a verdict on Thursday in Philadelphia for former officer Mark Dial, charged in the fatal August 2023 shooting of Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop.
- The shooting followed conflicting accounts, initially stating Irizarry lunged with a knife, but later revising that he was seated in his car when shot, with body cam footage involved.
- The jury acquitted Dial of third-degree murder and official oppression charges but convicted him of voluntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and illegal possession of a crime-related instrument.
- Dial’s attorneys maintained that the seven-inch knife looked like a firearm and expressed relief over his murder acquittal, though they were unhappy with the other convictions. Dial faces a possible prison term of up to six years.
- Dial will be sentenced in July, and the verdict concludes a case marked by legal twists and criticism from Irizarry’s family and community leaders regarding the police response.
