He’s no arch enemy, just another sad junkie, lawyers for a notorious, weapons-loving trust-fund heroin addict said yesterday after he pleaded not guilty to possessing explosive powder, two shotguns and knives in his Greenwich Village apartment.
“There were no plans ever to blow up the Washington Square Arch,” defense lawyer Isabelle Kirshner said after the arraignment of Aaron Greene, 31.
“They are truly pathetic junkies, from nice families,” Kirshner said of Greene, son of a prominent architectural restorer, and Morgan Gliedman, his Dalton-grad co-defendant.
“They are an illustration of the scourge of addiction,” the lawyer said.
Cops seized two shotguns, 60 shotgun shells, knives and seven grams of a highly explosive white powder called HMTD from their apartment.
