Daily News | DA Larry Krasner seeks a tougher sentence for convicted cop Eric Ruch
District Attorney Larry Krasner has asked a Common Pleas Court judge to reconsider the sentence she gave a former Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed an unarmed man, saying it was too lenient and appeared to blame the victim.
Because McDermott’s sentence was under two years, state law mandates that Ruch serve his time in the Philadelphia prison system, rather than in the far-flung and grimmer archipelago of state prison system. It also meant that McDermott, and not the state Parole Board, retains control over whether to grant him early parole.
The pursuit came to an end when Plowden cashed into parked cars in the Olney section. He emerged from his car, walked a few steps and sat down, leaning backwards. Ruch shot him within seconds of pulling up at the scene. His single bullet pierced Plowden’s left hand and struck his head. In a transcript of the sentencing hearing, quoted by prosecutors, McDermott said: “I’m sorry, but it was Dennis Plowden who refused to stop. It was Dennis Plowden who hit one police car. It was Dennis Plowden who continued down those bocks, endangering anyone who was out on those streets, endangering other vehicles, not just the police vehicles in the chase, who crashed into other cars. Dennis Plowden.
