Nowakowski: We told him he did the right thing

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Police Department is dealing with an officer charged with murder, accused of killing an unarmed man.  But the focus right now is not at that officer, but instead on City Hall. 

Two city officials are accused of obstructing a criminal investigation and tampering with a witness.  They allegedly contacted the witness in that police murder case — Officer Sergio Virgillo, who blew the whistle on Officer Richard Chrisman’s alleged conduct. 

A national watchdog group is claiming the councilmen crossed the line, and maybe even broke the law.
