In this PCRA litigation that spanned nearly four years, Mr. Mosser represented a client who had been convicted of first degree murder in Philadelphia. After an extensive investigation, it was discovered that a key witness for the Commonwealth was paid $20,000.00 after testifying against our client. Mr. Mosser uncovered the check receipts from the witness’ bank and the records from the City that showed that a now disgraced homicide detective had facilitated the payment. During Mr. Mosser’s investigation, prosecutorial misconduct was also uncovered that demonstrated that the Commonwealth withheld crucial evidence from the defense. The murder and related convictions were vacated after arguments and briefing in the PCRA court.
