NY defense attorney weighs in on bodega 'self-defense' stabbing
Criminal defense attorney Peter Tilem joins PIX11 Morning News with his thoughts on the controversial case of a Manhattan bodega worker charged with murder for a stabbing that the worker says was in self-defense.
From what I see on the video, it's less clear-cut than with other cases (such as George Zimmerman or Kyle Rittenhouse). It's clear that the criminal was berating the old man hand put hands on, but I think it will depend upon whether it was reasonable for the Bodega clerk to have feared death or grave bodily harm. I hope he can show this, but the video does not make it obvious.
Does the storekeeper have to wait until he is stabbed to death? He is attacked and his life is in danger. Free this man. Protecting yourself when you fear for your life, especially when so much violence is going on all over the city. You cannot wait to decide until what he might kill you, to defend yourself. This man was under attack and he feared for his life. He did not have time to ask the perp what his intentions were. Free this man. Ridiculous. How horrible.
Excessive force unless you are a white police officer. I say you can kill people for thinking. Obama is against it but he's crazy. Sir Lucifer The Great can not be crazy because he was made by God.
The DA should be forced to resign. He completely lacks comprehension and understanding that Power does not equate Leadership. That vindictiveness does not equate Justice. He is not suited for a leadership position on any level of governance of the public.
You're DAMN RIGHT it's self defense, he should have shot him the second he entered the clerks booth whether the perp was armed or not. We've got to stop allowing violent criminals to behave like this or it's just going to continue to get worse, the law should be 100% on this man's side.
Another important detail that supports self defense is that when the thug on parole was in his counterspace and in his face, the shop keeper never antagonized him or really even acknowledged the thug. He remained quite cool and reasonable until he was attacked.
They knew the card didn't work. The Girlfriend knew her card was no Good, that's how HOOD Dwellers move. They be trying to get over on Businesses In the Hoods.
I want to see the family of a man face to face with a judge in disgust of their faces for charging a self defense man jail him and giving him the cheapest 50k bond.

I’m surprised our president hasn’t started pushing for conviction of the Bodega worker….

Self defense. Free that man ASAP
He packed his soul up 👼🏼

Homeboy got what he deserved…F’m
and I hope that chip bitch goes to jail for life
That's clearly self defense
Good job bodega man
Give the man the congressional Medal of Honor
The Black Mayor and DA are creating war w NY citizens. Please don’t vote based on color or party affiliation but based on policies and competence
Only way a jury would find this man guilty is if the jury was all ⬛️s

The d.a. needs a stay in prison just to learn the difference between self protection and jail house group fights.

Good, that's how HOOD Dwellers move.

In the Hoods.

This man that works in the bodega defended himself against bodily harm. The assault on him justifies his actions
Guy reaped what he sowed.He started it and the elderly man ended it.
How pathetic that they're even questioning it. He attacked him fight, store worker is completely within his right to defend himself.
Her broke ass couldn't afford no chips. Went n told her dumb ass man, and he got his issue.
How do people of NY put up with a DA like Alvin Bragg?
