Lawyers say White Plains police shooting was justified
Lawyers for the police officer who killed a 68-year-old man in his suburban New York apartment say the shooting was justified.
The attorneys are responding to the disclosure last week that the policeman involved in the November shooting was White Plains Officer Anthony Carelli.
No one has been charged in the killing of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.
A grand jury inquiry is expected this week and his lawyers say Carelli will testify.
Police came to Chamberlain's apartment after his medical alert pendant went off. Chamberlain would not let police enter, insisting he was fine, and police took the door down.
Police said Chamberlain was shot after coming at them with a hatchet and knife. His son says he was unarmed.
Carelli's lawyers predict he will be cleared.
