TL;DR Summary

A judge in Philadelphia has reinstated a murder charge against former police officer Mark Dial, who shot and killed 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry in his car just six seconds after exiting a police vehicle. The decision overturns a previous judge's ruling to drop all charges against Dial. The charges reinstated include murder, voluntary manslaughter, official oppression, and four other counts. Dial was taken back into custody and held without bail. Prosecutors argued that there are sufficient questions of fact that need to be determined by a jury. Body camera footage supports the prosecution's allegations, but the defense claims Dial believed Irizarry had a gun.
