Retired Philadelphia detectives go on trial in perjury case stemming from 2016 murder exoneration

Three long-retired Philadelphia detectives are standing trial in a perjury case that asks whether police should be held responsible for alleged misconduct in exoneration cases



Retired Philadelphia detectives Martin Devlin, Manuel Santiago, and Frank Jastrzembski are on trial for perjury, accused of lying during a 2016 retrial of a 1991 rape and murder case that led to an exoneration. The case, brought by District Attorney Larry Krasner, hinges on alleged misconduct and false testimony regarding a confession and DNA evidence. The detectives, now in their 70s and 80s, face potential prison sentences.
