The NAACP has called out District Attorney Lynne Abraham for leading the grand jury that last week declined to indict a dozen police officers for police brutality in connection with the videotaped beating of three men suspected of firing shots into a crowd in Feltonville.
The University of Pennsylvania announced yesterday that it would spend $40 million to convert a 14-acre stretch of former U.S. Postal Service parking lots in West Philadelphia into Penn Park. The park would consist of open space, four athletic fields, a dozen tennis courts, and other features. Combined with existing athletic fields, the park will total 24 acres, officials said.
A debate between congressional candidates filmed Friday in Allentown by a local TV station was censored when it aired Monday to avoid causing financial harm. Democratic congressional candidate Sam Bennett stated that two major banks had failed when in fact they hadn't. WFMZ-TV muted the sound and blurred Bennett's lips as she made the erroneous remarks.
Meleanie Hain of Lebanon used to take her holstered Glock 26 handgun everywhere for personal security, but her concealed-weapons permit was revoked after other parents complained about seeing her carrying the loaded gun at her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game. She's fighting the revocation.
The Daily News describes a climate of fear and anger in Frankford, with residents on the lookout for a serial rapist. "Anticrime activists passed out flyers in the neighborhood yesterday while police—in a massive manhunt—took the unusual move of releasing the name and picture of a man wanted for questioning." Keep in mind Dorrell Shaw, 26, has not been charged, and is only wanted for questioning. Click through to take a look at the police sketch.
Authorities yesterday released an enhanced video that may show the man who robbed and shot aspiring teacher and Starbucks employee Beau Zabel. Click through to view the video, and certainly contact police if you think you can identify the suspect.
A while back, state legislators increased pay for injured police officers and made it easier for them to resist returning to work. Now on any given day, roughly 250 Philadelphia police officers are out of service due to on-the-job injuries. That's more than 10 times as many as just a few years ago. City risk manager Barry Scott said although most officers do the right thing and go back to work when they're ready, the new rules make it easier to abuse the system.
Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, was apparently well received when she spoke at a rally at Haverford College yesterday. A new Daily News/Franklin & Marshall poll has Clinton still in the lead with 46% support among likely Democratic voters, but Obama is closing in behind with 40% (14% are still undecided). As we mentioned yesterday, the candidates will be holding a debate tonight at the National Constitution Center, and the Daily News expects the sparks to fly. Oh, and don't forget those traffic restrictions.
A helpful list of what's open and what's closed for Good Friday today.
