Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office on Tuesday dropped a murder charge against a bodega worker who was captured on camera stabbing a man who went behind the counter and attacked him.
“Following an investigation, the People have determined that we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force,” said a motion filed Tuesday by Bragg’s office. “As such, the People will not be presenting the case to a Grand Jury and for the reasons provided in the attached memorandum, hereby move to dismiss the complaint.”
