Judge Overturns Former NY1 Anchor Dominic Carter's Attempted Assault

Former NY1 political anchor Dominic Carter is working on rebuilding his life after an ugly tabloid-laced scandal. His 2009 conviction on attempted assault has been overturned by a state appeals court.

But for Carter, it’s a costly victory. The scandal led to his firing from NY1 and 19 days behind bars in February, 2010.

In October 2008, Carter was arrested after his battered wife accused the anchor of kicking, punching, and choking her during a fight at their home.

At trial, the Daily News reports, his wife testified that she was attacked–by a day laborer.
