US EditionEx-Philadelphia officer sentenced and immediately paroled after conviction in traffic stop shooting
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 17 – Judge Glenn Bronson credited Mark Dial's 10 months served, granting parole despite sentencing guidelines recommending 4.5 to 9 years in prison, drawing criticism from officials and family.
- On Thursday, Mark Dial was granted immediate parole after being sentenced to 9½ months to two years for the fatal shooting of Eddie Irizarry during a Kensington traffic stop.
- The conviction encompassed multiple charges after a jury found he acted unreasonably in firing six shots within seconds.
- According to the footage, body camera video shows less than 10 seconds elapsed before fatal shots, contrasting the initial claim that Irizarry lunged with a knife.
- Irizarry’s family and District Attorney Larry Krasner condemned the sentence as unjust, with Krasner saying, `It's way below the bottom end of the sentencing guidelines`.
- Meanwhile, Irizarry’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Dial, Morris, the police department and the city, while attorney Brian McMonagle said they are reviewing a potential appeal.
