What happened to the case against Leonard Hill?
Last updates to this case are from 9 months ago when a judge denied the suggested ARD request (probation) from kranser.
To recap, from Phillymag:
In 2023, Hill, who lives in Bala Cynwyd, was at cigar lounge on Walnut Street in Center City. He was a regular there. According to court documents, a woman entered the cigar bar in an effort to get away from an intoxicated man she had been on a date with. She explained the situation to employees. A manager walked her to her car. Then, her date got into some sort of altercation with Hill outside the cigar bar. Police say that Hill drew a gun and fired a shot at the man. The man started to run away. And as he was running away with his back turned to Hill, the lawyer allegedly shot at the man again. Investigators say the bullet struck the man in the calf.
And then what does Leonard Hill do? Call 911? No. Police say he went to his car and changed his clothes. Then he returned to the area of the cigar lounge. After the man who was shot flagged down a nearby officer, police converged on the lounge. According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in the case, Hill never approached the responding officers to tell them he had been involved in a shooting. Police say he “fled the scene.”
Police investigated, interviewed witnesses, and reviewed surveillance footage. That all led them to Hill at his Bala Cynwyd home. Inside the home, officers confiscated the weapon Hill allegedly used in the shooting. It was a gun he owned legally among the “numerous” (as police put it) other guns he owns.
