Manhattan DA Alvin Brag ordered prosecutors to downgrade charges
NYC prosecutors flee in droves amid soft-on-crime policies, burdensome state reforms
https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-prose...-state-reforms Hundreds of prosecutors in New York City are quitting the district attorneys' offices amid controversial criminal justice reforms. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office this year has hemorrhaged 65 assistant district attorneys, which is about 12% of the staff. Bragg released a memo on his third day in office, ordering prosecutors not to seek prison sentences for a number of crimes and to downgrade charges – including for robberies and commercial burglaries. Manhattan's situation mirrors that of Brooklyn, where 67 prosecutors — approximately 13% — have resigned from DA Eric Gonzalez's office as of June 17, with three more leaving last Thursday alone, according to the New York Post. In 2020, 84 resigned, and 94 left office in 2021. Fifty-nine prosecutors have quit in the Bronx beginning this year through May. The resignations come amid state criminal justice reforms that some have criticized for being too onerous. In 2019, New York adopted discovery requirements that ordered lawyers to turn over large amounts of material to the defense in a short amount of time. Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney and trial division chief who prosecuted Harvey Weinstein, told the New York Post that such regulations are "crippling our lawyers." "You become a file clerk rather than a trial lawyer," she said, providing the example of how every officer's bodycam footage at a protest might have to be produced if there are allegations of wrongdoing. "It's insanity," she added. "Most of it is completely irrelevant and not germane in any way to the issues of the case." Illuzzi-Orbon's description of the state reforms echoed former Manhattan assistant district attorney Daniel Bibb, who told Fox News in January that Bragg's memo downgrading crimes such as armed robbery as "the definition of insanity." |

They voted for him to continue turning that place into a shithole so they can live with it. We should build a wall around that place and let nobody in or out. They want it...they can have it, but we don't want that toilet to over flow into our communities.

'Escape from New York' comes to mind, as this is their end goal.

bragg is a racist buffoon. A total ignoramus voted in by idiots. Add hochul and adams and you gave the trifecta of assholery that is democrat. Told my family to visit North Korea instead of NYC. Don’t come as I will not pick you up from JFK or some hospital in NYC after you are beaten and mugged. Total shithole. Otherwise I am on the fence.

ya see... if the perps are in jail they would be watched when mail-in balloting; making sure they only voted once.
But out of jail away from law enforcement eyes... they can vote box-loads of mail-ins. Downgrading charges is an attempt to keep the thugs from getting a felony (which would keep them in prison longer, and not allowed to vote at all). It's all about the votes. |
