Weak NYC Prosecutors also Decline to File Crminal Charges for Officers in Harlem Shooting [MORE]
From [HERE] A special grand jury in Manhattan has declined to indict a man at the center of a chaotic police-shooting case in Harlem last summer in which police officers who were breaking up a block party ended up firing 46 bullets, several of them striking the man.
After a Manhattan prosecutor announced the grand jury’s decision in court on Wednesday, a judge ordered that the man, Angel Alvarez, be released immediately, ending his six months in custody. The judge’s words were immediately met with a burst of emotion from the man’s friends and family in the courtroom gallery.
Mr. Alvarez, 24, was arrested last August after getting into a fight with another man, Luis Soto, in Harlem. The police accused Mr. Alvarez of shooting at them as they converged on the fight. Four officers fired a total of 46 rounds, leaving Mr. Alvarez with 23 gunshot wounds. Mr. Soto was killed; ballistic tests indicated that the fatal bullet was probably fired by the police.
