(Reuters) - A Philadelphia appeals court judge reinstated charges of murder and other crimes against former police officer Mark Dial on Wednesday for fatally shooting a man as he sat in his car in August. Last month, Philadelphia's district attorney had charged Dial with murder and a host of other offenses for shooting Eddie Irizarry, 27, several times after Dial and another officer had slowly followed him through city streets. A few weeks later, Judge Wendy Pew of the Philadelphia Municipal Court dismissed the charges, citing a lack of evidence and agreeing with Dial's self-defense argument. Police had falsely said Irizarry had left his car and lunged at officers before the department admitted that was not the case. He has been charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and official oppression.
