Goetz lawyers hail dismissal of attempted murder charges
Bernhard Goetz wins dismissal of four counts of attempted murder and four counts of assault as Judge Stephen Crane cites weak grand jury testimony and misapplied self defense. Goetz, 38, still faces weapons possession and reckless endangerment charges with possible resubmission. The decision spurs calls to end prosecutions of victims and sets a Jan. 21 hearing to address remaining counts.
