...special prosecutor investigated him twice and concluded each time that there was "insufficient credible evidence" to indict Donovan for anything. Nonetheless, in 1984 Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola persuaded a grand jury to indict Donovan and the other defendants on charges of larceny and fraud in connection with a subway-tunnel deal.

He fired his fifth shot, severing Cabey's spine. Even if Goetz's first rounds were fired in self-defense, Waples maintains, his final shot went well beyond the need to protect himself.
