Acquittal In Tavern Shooting
November 1, 1986
I successfully represented a 30-year-old Paterson man who was involved in a shooting in a Passaic bar. My client, D.P. gave a woman money for sex but when she changed her mind, he demanded his money back, and she refused. Suddenly another man pulled a pistol on him and D.P. grabbed it away. The man threw a bottle at him, and he shot the man three times. I argued self-defense. D.P. was found not guilty of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and weapons charges. – North Jersey Herald News
