It is with much joy and relief that I report that Sgt. Hugh Barry was acquitted of all charges related to the death of an emotionally disturbed woman named Deborah Danner on October 18, 2016. The three-week bench trial was heard before Judge  Robert A. Neary in Bronx Criminal Court.


NYPD SGT. HUGH BARRY FOUND NOT GUILTY

Submitted by Protect San Jose on Thu, 02/15/2018 - 15:16

Bronx Supreme Court Judge Robert Neary has found NYPD Sgt. Hugh Barry not guilty for shooting a mentally-ill individual that swung a bat at the Sergeant's head. The Judge's ruling in the case should send a strong message to law enforcement that they should continue to take the necessary steps to protect themselves, their partners, and the public from dangerous threats. An adult swinging a baseball bat at an officer's head is a dangerous threat!
