William Clark, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was charged with second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter after the fatal shooting of Marcus Sukow on Sept. Clark, a year-old agent from Rochester, New York, had intervened in a domestic dispute between two neighbors, Sukow and his girlfriend, Margie Duncan.

Judge Edgar Ross dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning his ruling cannot be appealed. The trial had begun Monday. Federal authorities were so incensed by the Virgin Island's prosecution of Clark -- and so concerned other federal agents could similarly be prosecuted -- that they removed all ATF agents from the Virgin Islands in , a policy that continues today, the agency said. The U. Virgin Islands is an unincorporated territory of the United States, and as such has a unique legal relationship with the federal government.

While the broad outline of the shooting is undisputed, two government investigations came to starkly different conclusions. A federal government multi-agency investigation of the incident unanimously concluded the shooting was justified. The ATF even returned Clark's gun and badge and put him back to work. But a Virgin Islands Police Department investigation prompted prosecutors to charge Clark with second degree murder. The incident occurred the morning of Sunday, September 7, , outside a St.

Thomas condo, where all of the main participants were neighbors. According to a police affidavit, Clark was leaving his condo when he encountered Sukow and his girlfriend, Marguerite Duncan. They had been drinking and were having a "disagreement. Sukow approached Clark, who was sitting in the car with the driver's door open. One witness said he saw Sukow striking the driver's door with his flashlight, and saw Clark draw his weapon and tell Sukow to step back.

Sukow stood there with his hands at his side when William Clarke [sic] discharged his firearm at him several times," the affidavit reads. Local prosecutors evidently were heavily influenced by two facts: First, the deceased, Marcus Sukow, was armed only with a flashlight; second, Clark shot him five times.
