I didn't think that the Jose Alba case could get more absurd; but, it did.
One thing that's flying under the radar is that, on top of the murder charge, Alba is also being charged with illegal possession of a deadly weapon.
Seriously, the knife wasn't even on his person when the assault started. It was a knife that they had in the store to open boxes. The knife just happened to be in the right place for Alba to grab it while he was being attacked.
Holy shit, what is New York doing?
