Admitted Philadelphia Cop Killer Sentenced to Death
by KYW's Tony Hanson
After a one-day delay in jury deliberations, admitted cop killer John Lewis has been sentenced to death for the murder of police officer Charles Cassidy in 2007.
Lewis pleaded guilty to killing Cassidy and was convicted last Friday of first-degree murder.
Prosecutor Edward Cameron urged the jury to approve the death penalty for Lewis, saying that the aggravating factors -- including the murder of a police officer during a robbery, his significant criminal history, and endangering others -- outweighed any mitigating factors.
