Daily News | Did a former Philly homicide detective help leak a confidential witness statement?
It was a Friday night in 2018 when prosecutor Cydney Pope, still at her desk in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, received an email unlike any she’d received in her career.
Pope asked police to sit outside the man’s house that night. Then the prosecutor had him temporarily moved into a hotel. He has since left Pennsylvania, and Pope told jurors Friday the episode — the only time in 10 years she’s had a witness’ secret materials shared online — still bothers her. Pope’s testimony came as part of the sexual assault trial for fired homicide detective Philip Nordo — with prosecutors saying the man whose testimony was leaked had been an informant for Nordo, and someone Nordo had triedStill, although prosecutors were seeking to link the leak to Nordo — who’s been charged with obstruction and official oppression in addition to several sex crimes — what they did not prove Friday was that he had a clear role in the documents ending up on the internet.
And attorney Abigail Cohen also presented text messages and videos that appeared to show the brother of a suspected shooter possessing the documents months before they were posted on social media — an attempt to suggest that man, not Nordo, was more likely to have posted them.
