Lawyer claims NYC teen charged in poet slaying is 'great kid' who wasn't 'looking for trouble'
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | October 6, 2023 | Rebecca Rosenberg

A lawyer for a teenager charged with randomly stabbing a New York City poet to death and then spitting in his girlfriend's face claimed his client is a "good kid" who wasn't "looking for trouble."

Brian Dowling, 18, was arraigned Thursday night for the caught-on-camera murder of Ryan Carson in front of his girlfriend, Claudia Morales, on Monday after the pair left a wedding.

Video surveillance shows a man police have identified as Dowling bark at Carson, "What the f--- are you looking at?" and "I'll kill you," then stab him three times as he tries to flee.

"It’s pretty clear when you look at the video, he wasn't out there looking for trouble but was in the middle of an episode, and in that episode things unfolded," attorney Kenneth Montgomery told Fox News Digital.

"That person had anger issues, and it spilled into something else." The lawyer would not directly confirm his client was the man in the footage.

"I do know this young man comes from a good family, and I can’t imagine him not being remorseful for something like this if the facts are what they say they are [and he did this]," the attorney added. "He is a great kid but clearly may have some mental health issues."

I like the way an ANTIFA thug is referred to as a poet.

I think we need to start taking out the lawyers like this one as well. Defending a client is one thing. Blatantly lying about a client as a defense, either in an article, or in court, is another.

” shows a man police have identified as Dowling bark at Carson,”

bark? why is the author equating Dowling to a dog?

How bout they just report and not put in their opinion or extras?

He’s NOT a great kid, it’s his lawyer that has the mental issues.

“”I do know this young man comes from a good family, and I can’t imagine him not being remorseful for something like this if the facts are what they say they are [and he did this],”

again rebecca Rosenberg author adds her words/thoughts/assumption to the attorney’s words and may be changing the meaning of what they attorney was really saying.

how did Rebecca get her job? Fox news hiring propoganda writers not reporters or journalists any more?

Yep. The more you know about Ryan Carson, the more apt you are to chalk his murder up to karma. Ditto the recent murder of Josh Kruger.

I do not blame the defense lawyer for saying what he said. As long as he doesn’t lie about the facts, I will not blame him one bit. It is the job of a defense lawyer to vigorously defend his client. Anything less would be malpractice.

I will very much blame the state of New York if this murderer is not dead by execution two years from now. That too would be malpractice.

And on today’s episode of “Episodes in the Hood...”

Of the three involved in this sordid tale, one scumbag is dead, one scumbag is incarcerated, and one scumbag was spat upon.

So far, so good.

Whitewashing an Antifa THUG, as a poet and fighter for social justice. He was a POS that had no problem defunding police and burning down the city.
