Courtroom shooting charge expected today in Albany
Samuel Crutchfield, 34, was to be indicted for second degree murder in the Albany County Family Court shooting of his wife Earlene Crutchfield in Albany. The hearing to bind the case over for a grand jury was rendered moot as prosecutors indicated an indictment would occur today. Crutchfield’s bid for release without bail was denied by Judge John Clyne, who ruled the defense failed to meet timing and notice requirements. Earlene Crutchfield died at Albany Medical Center about 40 hours after being shot Friday night.
