An American lawyer picked up a gun in his sleep and shot! Now he is being charged with not having a gun.
This nightmare came true: American Mark Dicara (62) from the state of Illinois dreamed that a burglar had broken into his house with the intent to kill. The 62-year-old lawyer then defended himself with his magnum weapon, which is always at hand, and fired.
Stitching pain in leg
Suddenly Dicara was wide awake, felt a sharp pain in his leg and was bleeding profusely! The man had actually shot himself.
According to the police report, Dicara was taken to the emergency room “with extensive blood loss and in serious condition.” It took him almost two months to fully recover.
However, investigators found that no one had entered the house and confirmed the accident as half asleep. But that’s not all: the nightmare come true has legal consequences. The man’s gun license was revoked last year. As soon as Dicara got home, he was arrested by the police.
Free on bail pending trial
He is charged with illegal firearm possession and firing an illegal firearm. The lawyer therefore needs legal assistance or he has to defend himself. He can remain free on $150,000 bail until trial on June 29.
