Ellen Greenberg case: Major development in family's fight to change manner of death ruling

well we have new developments in the Ellen Greenberg case today a judge in a civil suit ruled that there is enough evidence to go to trial now Greenberg's family sued several Philadelphia city officials claiming that the investigation into the 27-year-old's death caused them emotional distress the Manny young teacher was found dead in 2011 from multiple stab wounds her death ruled a suicide today is 15 years that Sandy and Josh Greenberg have been waiting to have the opportunity to go to court this case is intentional infliction of emotional distress by the defendants on Sandy and Josh for covering up the homicide of their daughter as a suicide so the medical examiner report said Greenberg was stabbed in the head the neck and the chest her death was first ruled a suicide then changed to a homicide and then back to a suicide the family's attorney Joe Pedraza says the defense could not give a solid explanation for the manner of death so when there was no support for suicide obviously the inference isw then why is it being called the suicide there must be other reasons and we believe part of that reason is misconduct and just terrible investigative acts by the Philadelphia Police Department so this is one of two cases that's playing out in court the first was filed in 2019 and seeks to have Ellen's manner of death changed from suicide back to homicide or undetermined it's now before the the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania now as for this case jury selection begins Monday at 9:00 a.m. we also reached out to the city and the police department they said they could not comment on pending litigation but the trial starts Monday it's gone on in a long time be nice for them to get some answers thank you
