Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is seeking a longer prison sentence for Eric Ruch, Jr., the ex-Philly cop convicted of manslaughter for the 2017 killing of Dennis Plowden Jr. Ruch received an 11 1/2 to 23 month sentence from a Philly judge, which falls below Pennsylvania sentencing guidelines.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s office asked the court to reconsider a monthslong sentence for a former Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed.
