Former NY Governor Urges DA to Drop Charges Against Marine
Former New York Governor David Paterson has called on Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance to drop gun charges against Ryan Jerome, a former Marine who unwittingly violated the state’s tough gun laws.
Mr. Jerome visited New York City in September last year with jewelry that he intended to sell. He brought a gun for protection, believing that his Indiana concealed carry permit would be honored in New York. Instead, he was arrested for the first time in his life.
