In closing arguments, attorneys for Philip Nordo described him as an upstanding detective and the former informants who testified against him as 'not the nice guys.” Nordo faces charges of sexually assault and corruption.
Philip Nordo was a dedicated Philadelphia homicide detective who spent a decade solving murders, sometimes with the help of informants — and some of them are now falsely accusing him of sexual abuse, one of his lawyers told jurors Thursday as Nordo’s trial on rape and corruption charges drew to a close.
Nordo, who faces charges including rape, sexual assault, and official oppression, has denied the allegations. And throughout the two-week trial, his attorneys, including Fuschino, have sought to persuade jurors that he is a decorated investigator being wrongfully accused by men with credibility issues and inconsistent testimony.
Assistant District Attorney Brian Collins disputed that characterization, telling jurors during his closing argument that many details of the witnesses’ accounts were remarkably consistent — even though none of the three complainants knew each other or had a clear motivation to lie.
