Two sisters arrested after Molotov cocktail thrown into police van in NYC

[JONATHANTURLEY.ORG] Two sisters have been arrested after a Molotov cocktail was thrown into a NYPD van with four officers inside. Samantha Shader, 27, of Catskill, NY, is charged with throwing the incendiary device, which did not explode. Her sister, Darian, 21, (left) then allegedly tried to stop the arrest of Samantha Shader. The police have hit Samantha Shader with a slew of major charges including attempted murder of a police officer, attempted arson, assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. Her sister faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration. Media is reporting that Shader admitted to her attack on the police. The police have released a picture of Shader throwing the Molotov cocktail.

Police say that Samantha Shader threw the device through a rear window of the van. She then allegedly bit an officer on the leg as they struggled to arrest her. When her sister attempted to intervene, she was also arrested.

This would appear an attempted murder in the first degree.

It is hard to imagine any prosecutor bargaining down this charge since, if true, there would have been four officers burned to death if the device actually went off. Unless the device did not contain a flammable or explosive liquid, Shader is looking at serious time if convicted. For a Class A felony, the maximum term is life imprisonment. Even a Class B felony includes up to 25 years in prison.

Others have been arrested for alleged Molotov cocktailing attacks. In the second case, Urooj Raman tossed a Molotov cocktail into the NYPD vehicle and then jumped into a minivan. He and the driver Colinford Mattis, 32, were arrested and both are Brooklyn residents.

I dunno. Didn't Soetoro's mentor get out after 7 months?

#5 Turley is obvously infected with Lawyer's Disease.

He is more concerned with careful legal parsing of everything said or done rather than the immediacy of the on-going incidents

He seems to want this to turn into Jarndyce v. Jarndyce and go on forever as a legalistic exercise rather than come to a conclusion that is right (just) for society.
