3 retired Philadelphia detectives face a November trial on perjury charges for alleged misconduct in Anthony Wright's 2016 retrial.
Three retired Philadelphia detectives, Martin Devlin, Manuel Santiago, and Frank Jastrzembski, face a November trial on perjury charges, accused of lying under oath during Anthony Wright's 2016 retrial. The case marks a rare instance where police or prosecutors face criminal charges for alleged misconduct leading to wrongful convictions, with over half of the nearly 3,500 exonerated serious crime cases in the U.S. since 1989 involving allegations of flawed work by police or prosecutors.
