Darrell Cabey, 20, the most seriously wounded of the four youths shot by subway gunman Bernhard H. Goetz, returned to his mother’s Bronx apartment after 13 months in a New York hospital. Cabey, who is paralyzed and suffered brain damage, said he felt “terrible.” Goetz claimed he fired because he feared he was going to be mugged when at least one of the four asked him for $5. A judge threw out charges of attempted murder against Goetz but that action is being appealed.
