Goetz trial opens amid claims of sadistic motive
Prosecutor Gregory Waples labeled Bernhard Goetz an emotional powder keg and said the subway shooting was a deliberate act to kill, not self defense. Defense attorney Slotnick argued Goetz faced an attack and acted within the law. The 39-year-old Goetz faces charges of attempted murder and related counts for the December 22 1984 incident that fueled a national debate on vigilantism. Darrell Cabey and three other youths dispute the danger and say they were panhandling or posing no threat.
