Albany Man Freed as Robbery Indictment Dropped
A Rensselaer County Court judge dismissed the indictment against Harry Klein of Albany for attempted robbery after the district attorney showed Klein did not obtain money. The case linked to Troy horse rooms where Klein reportedly lost his wages before the alleged holdup. The DA urged dismissal as the crime had no financial motive and suggested closing the horse rooms. Francis Magnotta, 27, pleaded guilty to endangering the morals of a minor and received one year in county jail after withdrawing a prior not guilty plea.
