WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A New York
City policeman has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, assault
and drunken driving.
Suspended Officer Brendan
Cronin is accused in connection with the apparently random shooting attack on
two men in a car at a suburban intersection on April 29. Cronin was off-duty.
The passenger in the car was
hit six times. The driver, who was not hit, was at Thursday's arraignment.
He said he wanted Cronin to see
his face. He said Cronin saw only the back of his head during the shooting.
A judge signed orders of
protection demanding that Cronin stay away from the two men. They have served
notice that they plan to sue Cronin and New York City.
Cronin and his lawyer left the
courthouse without commenting.
