The Nation : Grand Jury to Hear Goetz

Share

New York subway gunman Bernhard H. Goetz will waive immunity and testify next week before a grand jury that is considering whether to charge him with attempted murder, his lawyer said. Barry Slotnick said he and other lawyers decided to let Goetz testify March 29 because they believe prosecutors will make “an overzealous presentation” to obtain an indictment for attempted murder. Goetz, 37, is charged with shooting four Bronx youths Dec. 22 in the subway when, Goetz said, they tried to rob him.
