This week, Frederick W. Clark Jr. was released from state prison, where he has spent more than two years for a 2009 Saratoga Springs shooting. Clark said the shooting was self-defense; part of what resulted in his conviction being overturned was that the Appeals Court agreed with his appellate attorneys from Kindlon Shanks & Associates that the trial court did not adequately explain the legal ins and outs of a self-defense claim.
