A former prosecutor can be part of a case that disputes the death of Ellen Greenberg being called a suicide, a court has ruled.

A court ruled a former Philadelphia prosecutor can testify in the Greenberg family's case on the investigation into their daughter's death. He told NBC10 her death may not have been suicidea years-long court fight

“We are pleased and so should every parent in America. Ellen’s death is so obviously a murder. This case is riddled with delay tactics!" Greenberg's parents said.On January 26, 2011, Greenberg, who was a teacher at Juniata Park Academy for four years, was found dead by her fiancé inside a unit at the Venice Loft Condominiums along the 4600 block of Flat Rock Road in the city’s Manayunk neighborhood.

However, on February 28, 2011, the Philadelphia Police Department declared that her death had been ruled a suicide. First, from his review of the case file, D'Andrea argued that forensic investigation of the crime showed that Greenberg's spine was pierced during the incident, which, he said, would have"immediately incapacitated" her.

"She must have been laying long enough on her side for the blood to run in that direction as well as long enough that it wouldn't drag or drip when she was in a seated position," D'Andrea argued.
