The indictments involve the Dec. 12, 2020, death of Nicholas M. Walker, 29, at a Troy apartment. Carter previously had been charged in the death almost a year ago in county Municipal Court and subsequently indicted, but the case was dismissed by prosecutors reserving the right to refile the case.
Judge Stacy Wall said Carter could face up to 16.5 years in prison on the charges.
Carter was released on a recognizance bond with conditions including an order prohibiting contact with the victims representative or family. A jury trial was scheduled later Tuesday for Feb. 7 in Wall’s court.
