“Tomorrow, a Philadelphia man will be sentenced in Brown’s shooting.
The question being raised by that man, Edward Sheed Jr., is whether he is really a second innocent victim of the 2011 incident. Sheed and his family claim the Philadelphia police and district attorney’s office ignored evidence that he was nowhere near the shooting scene, and pressed for conviction of the wrong man.
The irony that makes this case remarkable is this: Sheed was once hailed as a hero by the same police department that now looks to send him to prison.” [“Facing prison after shooting conviction, one-time Philly hero tells his side of the story,” 9/9/13]
