NEW YORK (AP) - The lawyer for a New York City emergency medical technician who police allege had two explosive devices in his home says his client only had firecrackers.
The Daily News (https://nydn.us/1n36YBh ) reports Saturday EMT Victor Cadicamo’s attorney told a Brooklyn judge Friday the explosive devices weren’t pipe bombs but rather were sparklers left over from his infant son’s birthday.
Attorney Oliver Storch said at the 29-year-old Cadicamo’s arraignment that weapons recovered at his Brooklyn home were just “inoperable props.” He said Cadicamo has an exemplarly record as an EMT.
