Prosecutors say that bail for suspended Philadelphia Police Officer Mark Dial -- who has been charged with murder in the shooting death of Eddie Irizarry -- is unconstitutional and should be revoked.
In fact, prosecutors have already appealed the $1 million bail that was initially set for Dial, only for his bail to be lowered to $500,000.Currently, Dial has been suspended from the force for 30 days with intent to fire.
Barring any change to that determination, Dial would be fired from the city's police force by the end of this week. The officer is facing murder charges after he killed 27-year-old Eddie Jose Irizarry after stopping him for driving erratically in Kensington. In , Dial can be seen firing a number of shots into a parked vehicle that Irizarry was in, just moments after Dial approached the car.As shown in the bodycam footage, Irizarry never had a chance to speak to officers before he was killed.
Initially, police reported that Irizarry was armed with knives and had lunged at officers before he was shot. That information was later proved to have been false.
