Testimony is set to begin in the sentencing phase of the trial for two men convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer.
Jurors begin hearing testimony Monday to decide whether 41-year-old Levon Warner and 35-year-old Eric Floyd deserve the death penalty or life in prison for the murder of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski. The officer was shot to death during a pursuit following a bank robbery.
Last week, the jury convicted Warner and Floyd on all counts in Liczbinski's May 2008 death.
Authorities say the suspects were in a getaway car with another man who shot and killed Liczbinski in the city's Port Richmond neighborhood. Howard Cain later died in a shootout with police.
