UTICA, N.Y. -- A homeowner who shot and killed two intruders who police said were burglarizing his home in May has been cleared of any crime, his lawyer said today.
Ronald Stolarczyk, 64, had been facing a charge of criminal possession of a firearm, a felony, after he shot and killed Patricia Talerico and Nicholas Talerico as they were breaking into his Deerfield home. The homeowners handgun wasnt registered as required by state law, authorities said.
The charge against Stolarczyk was dropped in Deerfield town court Monday night after the Oneida County District Attorneys office made a motion to dismiss the charge and the judge agreed, Mark Wolber, Stolarczyks lawyer, told Syracuse.com | The Post Standard today.
Wolber said he has asked from the outset that the charge be dropped in the interest of justice and had numerous conferences with the DAs office on the subject.
Today, Stolarczyk is very relieved, Wolber said. Hes not a very emotional person, but is very happy this is over with.
Patricia Anne Talerico, 57, and Nicholas A. Talerico, 27, of Utica - an aunt and her nephew - were burglarizing the home at 6110 Walker Road in Deerfield when they were shot by the homeowner, according to New York State Police.

Personally I think registration is nothing more that a POLL TAX (which has been found unconstitutional.) Registration will always be the first step, before they confiscate.

Nice to know that there are some out there that have a clue and, at the end of the day, better late than never with regards to the charges being dropped.
