and charged with perjury and obstruction. District Attorney Larry Krasner’s administration accused him of lying under oath about whether he beat a man into signing a confession in another murder case. And Krasner said at the time: “I cannot calculate the damage that was done to a public sense of trust in law enforcement by those kinds of tactics.”At least 10 cases tied to PittsDozens accused a detective of fabrication and abuse. Many cases he built remain intact.
In Weary’s case, DiClaudio said, he put stock in the fact that she raised concerns about Pitts years ago, as her case wound its way through the courts. She was accused of recruiting her brother, Rufus Weary, to a street corner in 2007 to resolve a beef with a drug dealer. Police said at the time that the encounter turned fatal when Rufus Weary accidentally shot his friend, David McCoy, while aiming for the rival dealer.
In 2020, Weary’s lawyer, Jerome Brown, filed a new appeal centering on Pitts, calling him “the Homicide Unit’s ‘hitman’ when they really needed a confession to ‘clear’ a case.” Weary, in her appeal, accused Pitts of a variety of misdeeds, including grabbing her, shoving her, and spitting at her as he threatened her and told her to sign a false statement regarding the crime.
