Widow of Slain Philadelphia Officer Takes Aim at Fetterman for Appointing ‘Buddy’ of Cop Killer to State Board 

The widow of a Philadelphia police officer who was shot and killed in the 1980s is calling out Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman over his appointment of a person who has expressed affection for the individual convicted of killing her husband to serve on the state’s Board of Pardons.
