ROCHESTER, N.Y. —
A Rochester defense attorney says a grand jury has refused to indict his client for manslaughter in a fatal stabbing, determining it was self-defense.
Paul Kubrich was charged with first-degree manslaughter for fatally stabbing 29-year-old Richard Sullivan of Walworth in Wayne County. Police say Sullivan, the ex-boyfriend of a woman Kubrich was dating, showed up at the woman’s apartment on Nov. 11 and got into a fight with Kubrich.
Sullivan died of stab wounds to the upper torso hours later.
Kubrich’s lawyer, James Nobles, says the grand jury determined the killing was a justifiable act.
Kubrich had faced a prison term ranging from five years to 25 years if convicted.
