There was a stunning turn of events in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Thursday. The 20-year-old who says he was acting in self-defense when he fatally stabbed a fellow passenger on a J train in Williamsburg is out of jail. LisaRoznerTV explains why.
Williams was arrested for manslaughter, but claimed self-defense.
Jordan Williams' attorney, Jason Goldman, said in court his client was traveling with his girlfriend when the victim got on the train. He said he has reviewed video related to the incident that happened Tuesday at around 8 p.m. The attorney said the victim approached Williams' girlfriend and when Williams told him to"chill out" and get away, allegedly, the victim kept harassing the girlfriend, including ripping out her earring.
Prior to Thursday's arraignment, Jordan Williams' attorney compared his quick arrest to that of Daniel Penny, who is accused in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. The attorney said Penny was initially released after the incident and his client was not, adding"Is Mr. Williams not getting the same treatment ... because his skin color is different?""The wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine, as Dr. King once said, in some way or another.
