Police Commisioner Re-opens Probe of '72 Cop Killing |
If you have to stand on some monkey's toes to get justice, so be it.

October 8, 2006 -- Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has launched a probe into
what is widely considered one of the most embarrassing episodes in NYPD
history: the coverup of a cop killing in Louis Farrakhan's Harlem mosque
April 14, 1972.
Thirty-four years after he landed on the scene of the notorious Harlem
mosque murder as a young sergeant, top cop Kelly told The Post he has
assigned members of the Major Case Squad to reopen the investigation into
the slaying of Police Officer Philip Cardillo inside a Nation of Islam
mosque.
"There is a feeling in certain quarters that there are a lot of unanswered
questions and if we can answer those questions, we have an obligation to do
that," Kelly said.
Cardillo died five days after he was shot in the mosque alongside three
other officers who were badly beaten after the four of them responded to a
phony 911 call saying an officer was in trouble.
Fearing a racial riot in an age when every city outside New York had been
torn up by black mobs, the investigation was hampered by politics.
Only one man, Lewis 17X Dupree, was ever arrested in the case. His first
trial ended in a hung jury, and his second with an acquittal on murder
charges.
Kelly said his decision to open the probe came at the urging of former
Detective Randy Jurgensen and former prosecutor James Harmon, who both spent
years hunting Cardillo's killer.
Jurgensen has just penned a book about the Cardillo saga, "Circle of Six:
The True Story of New York's Most Notorious Cop-Killer and the Cop Who
Risked Everything to Catch Him."
The law against double jeopardy would appear to bar any further criminal
charges against Dupree, but others might still be held criminally liable.
