Pennsylvania Coroner and Prosecutor Clash Over Officer's Involvement in Driver's Shooting Death

A coroner in Pennsylvania has recommended that a police officer be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a man after a car chase, a recommendation that has been met with opposition from the local prosecutor who believes the shooting was justified. The coroner's recommendation is based on evidence that the officer's account of the incident did not align with body camera footage, and that the man's car posed no threat to the officers involved. The prosecutor dismissed the coroner's stance as "theatrical nonsense." The officer remains in good standing and the case continues to generate controversy.
