New York City’s top lawyer says that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani had a right to release Patrick Dorismond’s criminal record, including a sealed juvenile offense. Patrick Dorismond was the 26-year-old security guard who was killed by undercover police on Thursday morning. Dorismond was fatally shot after he stepped out of a bar, was approached by police, and they asked him for drugs. Various activists are accusing Mayor Giuliani of breaking the law by releasing a sealed juvenile record of Dorismond, a record of activities that Dorismond was charged with when he was 13 years old.
