Goetz to face jury
NZPA-Reuter New York The so-called New York subway vigilante, Bernhard Goetz, would face a new grand jury to determine if he should be charged with attempted murder for shooting four ghetto youths, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said yesterday. A spokeswoman for the District Attorney said that new grounds for resubmitting the controversial case had been found. She declined to say what they were.
A grand jury in January refused to indict Goetz for attempted murder and charged him only with illegal possession of weapons, touching off a controversy.
Goetz shot four black teen-agers in a subway train on December 22 after one of them demanded SUSS from him.
An acting New York state Supreme Court Justice, Stephen Crane, signed the order for convening a new grand jury but no date was immediately set for it to begin work.
