While we continue to wait on charges eventually being filed against LeSean McCoy – which was a foregone conclusion one week ago – the District Attorney’s office may have other ideas now. According to CSN Philly’s John Gonzalez, the District Attorney’s office and Philadelphia Police Department have butted heads over the last few days, delaying what many of us believed to be the inevitable.
According to law enforcement officials, tension between the District Attorney’s office and PPD has risen over the last few days because of the delay in charging McCoy and three other men for their alleged role in a fight at Recess Lounge in Old City early on the morning of Feb. 7. Sources told CSNPhilly.com that the D.A.’s office is hesitant to issue warrants because it has questions about the conduct of the officers that evening, including that the officers did not call 9-1-1 during the incident and whether they were drinking to excess.
A spokesman for the District Attorney refuted a report by The Buffalo News and said no press conference is scheduled in the immediate future. The spokesman also said there would be no announcement on warrants Thursday.
On Wednesday, one of McCoy’s lawyers, Dennis Cogan, told the Buffalo News that his client is innocent.
“I’m here to say and I’m telling you that McCoy did nothing wrong, nothing wrong,” Cogan said. “And he was sober. The questions will have to be asked about the conditions of other people.”
FOP president John McNesby could not be reached for comment.
It’s interesting that the DA would question the conduct of the officers, and that would almost certainly raise the ire of the PPD. So at this point, McCoy might not get charged at all. His lawyers came out yesterday and said their client did nothing wrong during the incident. The longer this goes on, the more it looks like it favors McCoy and co.
