The grieving family of a Pennsylvania cop gunned down execution style while on duty is slamming the local prosecutor for refusing to consider the death penalty for his alleged killer.
“I’m saying that he’s playing big brother, he’s playing God, and what he’s doing is saying that his stance on the death penalty outweighs Pennsylvania’s laws,” the cop’s father, Joel Fitzgerald, told The Post.Pauline and Joel Fitzgerald called it “disgusting” that Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner won’t give a jury the option of choosing the death penalty for the accused killer who gunned down their cop son.
The sergeant’s widow, Marissa Fitzgerald, is still haunted by the memory of telling their young children. Dustin Slaughter, a spokesperson for Krasner, said the DA’s call is “consistent with his oath to seek justice and uphold the law,” reiterating that he will not seek capital punishment for Pfeffer.
Joel Fitzgerald has served as police chief with various departments in Pennsylvania, Texas and Iowa and is currently chief of the Regional Transit District in Denver, Colo.
