Fox News reports that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has attributed the 2019 murder acquittal of Eric Lewis—a suspect now charged in the fatal shooting of a city police officer—to what he characterized as criminal misconduct by investigators during that earlier trial. Lewis, 35, faces 76 charges after allegedly ambushing and killing Officer Shane Seiber and wounding Seiber's partner.
According to Fox News, Krasner stated in a video release that the previous homicide case collapsed because an officer romantically involved with Lewis's sister intentionally sabotaged the prosecution. Krasner alleged the officer fabricated an anonymous tip pointing to a nonexistent suspect, adding that one officer was terminated and another was disciplined following an internal affairs referral.
In response, the Philadelphia Police Department pushed back against the district attorney's remarks, telling Fox News that attempting to assign blame while families are mourning does nothing to assist grieving relatives or promote accountability.
