The lawyer, Maurice Sercarz, has said the case has “serious problems” and will be “vigorously” contested. He told CBS News the two defendants were initially booked for second-degree murder, but those charges were “mysteriously” missing from the criminal complaint. He believes prosecutors do not have enough evidence to charge his client with murder.
“It’s only the beginning for us and I look forward to what our review of the evidence will reveal,” Sercarz told reporters.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office forwarded CBS News the complaint that did not include murder charges, but didn’t respond to a request for more information about why those were not being pursued.
According to the complaint, James Rackover told investigators he hosted a party in his apartment that was attended by several people including his acquaintance Dilione, a few young women and a man he didn’t know. He said he didn’t know what happened to the man who attended the party.
