Despite the borough’s inability for its insurance to pay for the legal fees of both sides, since it lost, the borough is going to appeal the decision.
Three former Sharon Hill police officers who allegedly shot and killed 8-year-old Fanta Bility last August will stand trial. Magisterial District Court Judge Robert Burke upheld manslaughter and reckless endangerment charges against Devon Smith, 34; Sean Dolan, 25; and Brian Devaney, 41. The former cops are scheduled for an arraignment on March 30.
Sharon Hill Borough Council voted Thursday night to fire the three police officers facing charges in the fatal shooting of 8-year-old Fanta Bility. Six of the seven borough councilmembers voted in favor of relieving officers Devon Smith, 34; Sean Dolan, 25; and Brian Devaney, 41, of their duties after all three cops were charged with manslaughter and reckless endangerment.
