What a wise-acre ! I can't stand this creep/traitor...Clyne said he only learned of the case against Ritter, who has become a high-profile commentator on Iraq, this week when The Daily Gazette inquired.
The case was sealed after Preiser, Ritter's attorney and a town court judge agreed to adjourn it in contemplation of dismissal, sources said.
This generally means that a case is on hold for a period of six months; if the defendant does not get in trouble during that time, the case is usually dismissed and the record is sealed. The adjournment indicates no admission of guilt or innocence.
When The Daily Gazette attempted to obtain a copy of the incident report from the 41-year-old former Marine's arrest, the Colonie town attorney's office denied that request, saying the record was exempt from disclosure. But the office did confirm that the record for Ritter, whose full name is William Scott Ritter, existed.
Ritter, though, said he knows nothing about the arrest.
"Sorry, you must have the wrong person," he said Friday when reached at his home in Delmar.
