Jury Reaches Mixed Verdict in Trial of Ex-Philadelphia Officer Mark Dial in Fatal Shooting of Eddie Irizarry | News Channel 3-12
- A jury in Philadelphia found former officer Mark Dial guilty of voluntary manslaughter and related charges for the August 2023 shooting of Eddie Irizarry but acquitted him of murder and official oppression.
- The charges arose from a traffic stop where Dial shot 27-year-old Irizarry, who was sitting in his car holding a knife, following conflicting police accounts and legal proceedings.
- Video from police body cameras captured Irizarry grasping a seven-inch knife positioned near his leg while officers shouted warnings of both "knife" and "gun" shortly before Dial discharged his weapon within seconds of leaving the vehicle.
- Dial said he feared for his life, stating he 'didn't want to get shot in the face,' while his attorneys argued he acted lawfully and were glad the jury acquitted him of murder.
- Mark Dial faces a potential prison term of up to six years and is scheduled to receive his sentence in July, with the jury’s decision bringing an end to a complicated case marked by legal setbacks and widespread criticism of the police handling.
