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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
