The man charged in a fatal stabbing on board a J train in Brooklyn was arraigned in court Thursday. Despite charges of manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon, he was released shortly thereafter. DougWilliamsTV reports.
The stabbing happened on the J train in on Tuesday night, when police sources say the victim harassed a woman and attacked Williams.
In court, the judge said the fact that Williams had family support, a steady job at FedEx and no criminal record was part of the reason she did not go for the district attorney's request to keep him in jail on $100,000 bail."I feel the judge was extremely fair. We're extremely remorseful for that. However, it was either him or the guy and he did what he had to do," April Williams said.
"The victim was menacing people, as all of us have probably seen on the subway, erratic, deranged, crazy and in many people's faces before he even encounters my client," Goldman said. Goldman said Ouedraogo, who was unarmed, lunged at Jordan Williams and punched him, and that's when the accused removed a folding knife and stabbed Ouedraogo in the chest.
