A judge in New York has dismissed all charges against a Vermont deputy who was involved in a chaotic sidewalk brawl that ended when he was shot multiple times by police.
Judge James A. Murphy said many factors went into his decision, including the prosecution’s “failure to properly instruct the grand jury on the law” as well as improper speculation by witnesses.
Prosecutors said Caselnova and another man shot their guns at each other simultaneously, while defense lawyers said the Utica man fired first. Caselnova was indicted in March on charges including attempted murder and possessing a firearm in a “sensitive location.” He pleaded not guilty.
