Local police have been receiving a lot of criticism for the fatal shooting of Pace University student Danroy Henry in Westchester last weekend. Eye witnesses claim that Henry was handcuffed and left on the road for up to 15 minutes without medical attention while medical teams treated a less seriously injured officer at the scene, and students who tried to help him were either Tasered or handcuffed, which police have denied. Now, police sources have revealed another complication in the story: according to the results of the autopsy of 20-year-old Henry, he was legally drunk at the time of the shooting, with a .13 blood alcohol level. more ›

It's been a bad day for former New Jersey Net Jayson Williams. First, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the shooting death of his limo driver, landing him between 18 months and five years in prison. Now come reports that his blood alcohol level was .24 — three times the legal limit — when he drove his Mercedes SUV into a tree last week, according to TMZ. Williams fractured his neck in the accident, and was charged with DWI after refusing to take a breath test at the scene (he also tried to convince cops he wasn't the driver by waiting for police in the passenger seat). Before the accident, Williams had reportedly been drinking with college kids at the Upper East Side bar Aces & 8's, according to the venue's owner. more ›

The Westchester Medical Examiner's office has taken the preemptive measure of saying that the second round of test results on the body of Taconic crash driver Diane Schuler may vary from the original toxicology and autopsy findings. The original results revealed Schuler to have a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit as well as traces of marijuana in her system while driving in the crash that killed eight. A spokesman for the county's chief medical examiner said, "Due to the time period that has passed, the amount of alcohol that will show up in the samples when they are retested will be reduced and the marijuana can disappear." But Newsday talks to forensics experts who seem unclear on why such a statement was made, the toxicologists they speak to saying there's no reason the result would change much—if anything it could go up over time. The question now is whether such a defensive stance from the ME's office will only fuel the suggestions of a plot that have been hinted at by Daniel Schuler's lawyer, Dominic Barbara (pictured). But the examiner says they are simply encouraging the Schuler family quickly select a lab for the additional autopsy tests the Schulers have requested. more ›
