The surviving escapee from the Clinton Correctional Facility who was captured after a 23-day manhunt in June was in Clinton County Court this morning facing charges related to the prison break. As WAMC’s Pat Bradley reports, the brief proceeding marked the first time David Sweat was seen in public since being wounded at the end of the chase. David Sweat escaped from the Dannemora, New York facility with fellow inmate Richard Matt on June 6. Matt was killed on June 26th while Sweat was shot and captured two days later. Sweat, in green prison garb, entered the courtroom in shackles. He had a sling on his right arm and was surrounded by guards. Judge Patrick McGill entered not guilty pleas for Sweat after defense attorney Joe Mucia waived a reading of the indictment. “Mr. Mucia do you wish to have the indictment read?” Attorney Joe Mucia responded: “Good morning your honor. At this time we waive a reading of the indictment.” McGill: “Does the defendant wish to enter a plea at this time?” Mucia: “Ah, not at this time your honor.” McGill: “We enter a plea of not guilty on behalf of the defendant. The court will remand the defendant without bail.” Read More. |
