Queens Judge Upholds Charges Against Man Shot by Police During Mental Health Crisis
A Queens judge has ruled that charges against Jabez Chakraborty, who was shot by police during a mental health breakdown, will stand. Chakrabortys family called 911 for help, but he approached officers with a knife, leading to attempted assault and weapon possession charges. Despite his mothers pleas and a crowd of supporters, the judge denied a motion to dismiss the indictment. Chakraborty remains in the hospital, and his family argues that he needs mental health care, not jail time. The case highlights the need for better responses to mental health crises.
