VALHALLA, N.Y. (AP) – A defense lawyer is questioning the criminal mischief charge filed against a college quarterback accused of breaking a store window after a teammate was shot to death by New York police.
The quarterback, Joseph Romanick, of Slidell, La., entered no plea during a brief court appearance Thursday in Mount Pleasant, N.Y.
His attorney, Richard Vercollone (VUHR’-kuh-lohn), said a deposition attached to the criminal complaint does not appear to support the charge.
The deposition, signed by a witness, does not make clear that the window was broken on purpose.
Danroy Henry, of Easton, Mass., was killed early Sunday after police were called to a disturbance that spilled out of a Thornwood, N.Y., bar. Police say his car hit two officers.
