NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch addressed the outcome of the trial in the killing of Detective Jonathan Diller, expressing disappointment over the jury’s decision not to convict on the top charge of murder.
The case stems from the death of Diller, who was killed in the line of duty two years ago while serving as a New York City police officer.
The defendant in the case was convicted on multiple other charges, but the absence of a murder conviction drew a strong reaction from department leadership.

“Thank you, Mayor, and good afternoon. Before we begin, I want to address yesterday’s verdict in the murder of detective Jonathan Diller,” Tisch said in prepared remarks.
Tisch described Diller’s actions at the time of his death as consistent with a career dedicated to public service, noting that he was performing his duties as an officer when he was killed.
“Two years ago, Jonathan was killed in the line of duty while doing what he had chosen to do, protecting the city. He stepped toward danger without hesitation, and he did it as part of a life that was defined by service,” she said.
The commissioner said the verdict was difficult for members of the department, particularly in light of the evidence presented during the trial.

“I am deeply disappointed that the top murder charge did not result in a conviction based on all of the evidence presented at trial,” Tisch said.
“I am convinced that this was an act of intentional murder, the fail, the failure to convict on murder, one landed like a gut punch to all members of the NYPD.”
Despite the absence of a murder conviction, Tisch noted that the defendant was found guilty on other counts and said the department expects the sentencing to reflect the seriousness of the crime.
“The defendant was convicted on all other counts, and we expect the sentence in this case to reflect the gravity of what was done and the loss that it caused,” she said.
Tisch also emphasized that Diller’s service and legacy will continue to be recognized within the department, describing his impact on fellow officers and the broader NYPD community.
“Jonathan’s life, his service and his legacy will remain a part of this department carried forward by the men and women of the NYPD,” she said.
She concluded her remarks by honoring Diller’s memory.
“May his memory continue to be a blessing,” Tisch said.
