Charges Dropped Against NY Man Who Killed Wife’s Attempted Rapist
Give the man a medal.
A Bronx man is off the hook after being charged with the killing of an attacker who tried to rape his wife.
Can anyone blame him for defending his wife? Good for him.
FOX 5 in New York reported:
Charges dropped against man who killed wife’s attempted rapist
Charges have been dropped against a man in connection with the death of a man he had beaten for trying to rape his wife in their Bronx apartment.
Mamadou Diallo, 61, was arrested after the attack in May in the Morrisania section.
The alleged assailant, identified as Earl Nash, 43, reportedly ripped the 51-year-old victim’s clothes off and smashed her head into a chair before she managed to break free and call her husband on her phone. Neighbors told Fox 5 that he had been acting aggressively to other women in the building.
Diallo, who was outside the building looking for a parking spot, hurried to his wife only to find the suspect on the 6th floor hallway of 1240 Washington Ave.
Diallo allegedly assaulted Nash with a tire iron as the career criminal attacked Diallo with a leather belt.
Police found Nash, of the Bronx, unconscious and unresponsive with severe trauma to his head and body. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital in critical condition by an EMS crew where he later died.
Police arrested Diallo and initially charged him with manslaughter.
In announcing that the charges were dropped, Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark said, “This case was a tragedy for all whose lives intersected in that Bronx building on the night of May 30, 2016.”

SO NICE to read good news for once!
GOOD ON YA, My Diallo! Glad the D.A. saw fit to let you go.
NY Times calls for more stringent tire iron control.
Good Lord, NY Values indeed. In Texas we would be throwing BBQ’s in honor of the guy, not wringing him out through the legal system.
Love happy endings
