Wife, Brother Of Slain Officer Testify In Court

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The prosecution has finished its case in the penalty phase of the trial of admitted cop killer Rasheed Scruggs and the case ended with tears and sobs filling the courtroom.

Kim Pawlowski and Robert Pawlowski testified through their own tears, at times sobbing, as they took the jury to a very dark place, a hospital room on the night of February 13, 2009.

Their beloved John lay dead on a table. Robert Pawlowski, brother of Officer Pawlowski, saw the gaping gunshot wound, it haunts him when he closes his eyes.

And he described the terror in Kim's eyes as she arrived, as she puts it, she had everything, and it was gone.

The father of their unborn son was gone. He would never hold their son, give him a bath, play football with him. Now she can only sit at his grave and talk to him, her husband and best friend.
