Questions around police officer’s death, plus excitement builds for the 76ers season kickoff | The Week in Philly

A man accused of killing a Philadelphia police officer has been charged with murder before, but was acquitted. Why was he allowed to go free? KYW’s Crime and Justice Reporter Kristen Johanson explains that case and how the investigation at the “house of horrors” in Olney is developing as detectives wrap up their search of the home. Plus, with the Eagles tanking so far, Philly sports fans are turning their hopes to LeBron James and the 76ers. KYW reporter and Sixers fan Tim Jimenez tells us what we can anticipate ahead of the official season opener.
