Jose Alba is a free man.

After defending himself against an attacker, Alba was facing second-degree murder charges.

After significant outrage and pressure, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has decided to drop all charges.

Do the Right Thing

Anyone who watched that video could see that Alba feared for his life.

He was physically overmatched and being assaulted.

His only recourse was to use the nearby knife to fend off his attacker.

In the request to drop the charges, the filing stated, “Following an investigation, the People have determined that we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force.

“As such, the People will not be presenting the case to a Grand Jury and for the reasons provided in the attached memorandum, hereby move to dismiss the complaint.”

These charges should never have been filed in the first place.

That is especially true when you consider the girlfriend of the assailant that stabbed Alba during the incident was never even incarcerated.
