   ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. — Anti-violence advocate Dontie Mitchell was   
   arraigned Wednesday on new charges, including attempted murder.   
   Those charges stem from a deadly August shooting in Cohoes.   
      
   Mitchell spoke to us from jail on Wednesday about this new   
   indictment against him, which comes nearly two months after a judge   
   tossed out the original second-degree murder charge against him due   
   to insufficient evidence.   
      
   "What I can tell you, I didn't provoke it, I didn't instigate it, I   
   didn't start it," Mitchell told CBS 6. "Two young men that was a   
   part of my money gang youth empowerment program were out in Cohoes   
   and I went out to get them, and it's an unfortunate situation   
   happened."   
      
   "I just went there to see and talk, and I had nothing to do with   
   anybody getting hurt."   
      
   Now, the Albany County District Attorney's Office wants him for   
   attempted murder in that same shooting, but Mitchell's public   
   defender Rebekah Sokul said the indictment doesn't reveal who he's   
   accused of trying to kill.   
      
   "This new indictment certainly raises some questions," Sokul said.   
   "I'm sort of interested in seeing the new theory. It's very hard to   
   tell what the new theory is because the individual my client is   
   attempting to kill, that individuals name is blacked out."   
      
   We asked Mitchell who he think they're trying to accuse him of   
   killing. His response:   
      
   "I think it's obvious," Mitchell said. "Why they're not giving this   
   information is telling. They're trying to say I'm responsible for   
   attempting to kill somebody who on surveillance footage was   
   responsible for this entire incident."   
      
   Sokul said releasing the video is, "not in my purview, but something   
   that I think would she a lot of light on what actually happened."   
      
   We submitted a freedom of information request for that surveillance   
   footage.   
      
   Mitchell was pardoned by former Governor Andrew Cuome and released   
   from prison in 2021 after spending 24 years behind bars. Since then,   
   he's been an advocate for anti-gun violence.   
      
   We also reached out to the Albany County DA's Office for a statement   
   on why they're pursuing these new charges, but a spokesperson told   
   us they're not going to make any statement on this case at this   
   time.
