PHILADELPHIA - United States Attorney William McSwain has announced charges in two violent crime cases he says were mishandled by the Philadelphia District Attorney's office.McSwain also went on to detail 10 murder cases in which he claims the defendant was on the street because of "overly lenient" plea deals given out by the DA's office.In the first of two cases McSwain detailed during press conference Monday, 28-year-old Khalif Tuggle has been charged in a three-count indictment.
Tuggle faces charges including carjacking, murder, and a weapons charge in the January 2017 murder of Thomas Petersen.McSwain's office alleges Tuggle shot Petersen in the chest, dragged him out of the car, robbed him, and left him for dead in the road as he.
