An appellate court has thrown out the manslaughter conviction of a Deerpark man who fatally shot a fugitive wanted on rape charges in 2013.
David Carlson was indicted on a murder charge, and convicted after trial of first-degree manslaughter in the Oct. 11, 2013 shooting of Norris Acosta-Sanchez. He and his lawyer argued that he acted in self-defense.
The decision issued Wednesday by the Appellate Division, Second Department of state Supreme Court throws out the November 2016 trial verdict and grants Carlson a new trial on the manslaughter charge. |

If a cop had shot the fugitive, they would have decorated him for it.
They just don't like the competition, I guess. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
