Trial continues for 2 in Philly officer slaying

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - July 8, 2010

In a tape played at trial Thursday, a 911 caller hysterically described seeing Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski lying in the street, shot dead.

Although neither of them pulled the trigger, 35-year-old Eric Floyd and 41-year-old Levon Warner are charged with first-degree murder in Liczbinski's May 2008 death. The alleged gunman, Howard Cain, died in a shootout with police.

Prosecutors say the three men were fleeing police after robbing a bank. They say Floyd and Warner are just as responsible for Liczbinski as the shooter.

Lawyers for both men have stressed that neither fired the fatal shots.
