Gaslighting much?

We can thank the corrupt unions for this.

I know about this. Unfortunately I think you misunderstand what "wrongfully arrested" means here. It means you were arrested and/or convicted for a cringe you did not commit. If the DA has evidence that they claim link you to the crime insert Central Park 5, Richard Rosario, etc then this law wouldn't apply. Also everyone doesn't know if this law (and often public defenders as agents of the state pressure innocent people to take deals). There are too many moving parts. The system is broken and running back to something that doesn't work is not the best move.

Failed? Has the crime not been constantly falling from the 80's? It started to pick up on again due to policy change. Data is clear

When I make up whatever facts suit my predetermined conclusion, I also find that arguments are easy to win!

> And before ANYONE says "well *insert number" people support it", I don't care. Not everyone knows the law and most people operate based on what they think the law is. But I digress.

DEFINITELY must have missed this part in your quest to be right.

Also the "Tough on crime" and "War on Drugs" legacy conservative policies and a cornerstone of ANYTHING they talk about. So I stand by my comments.

Please. Bail is not to control suspects before sentencing. This governor's prescription to crime is to go back to a repressible guilty until proven innocent state.
Buffalo notwithstanding our colonial divisions are rude reminders of what not to do. Holding the accused until time served is not a criminal justice system. Bail reform brought us out of the septic system that is our denial of what we must do.

Our institutions promote safety and adherence to the law. Our schools and colleges educate reform practical ambition into success.

Our prisons only promote injustice and violence and are the lost causes of civilized rule. To put, in the hands of judges the exercise of prejudgements is to finish equality.

Bail only frightens and culls the entire population. We started the long walk towards an enabled democracy. Why stop now?

Mayor Adams and Kathy Hocul are uniquely disqualified to rein the potential of free and enabled electorate. Both are subject to rabbit holes and pitfalls.

Don't drink the Kool aid. It's spoiled.

Agreed but he did win and demographically NYC has a tad larger voting number than the rest of New York

Historically people vote down the party line for offices such as the DA. I’d imagine people are going to take these votes more seriously going forward.

Grieving families act was a horribly written bill and deserved to fail. It literally let anyone and their mother come out of nowhere and claim the death of their long lost aunt has irreparably harmed them and each of them deserve millions. It didn’t even have a cap on damages.

It would make every business operating in New York uninsurable for no reason.

“with a breakdown of 76% of Democrats, 71% of independents and 69% of Republicans, according to the Siena College poll.”

Conservatives?

New York grants the right to a speedy trial known as 180.80. You demand that the DA gather their evidence and indict you within 6 days or you walk free.

If you’re wrongfully arrested, invoke that and tell them to put up or shut up

I'm envisioning a 1% acceptance rate for legal cover only. Thats really not solving anything.

Bragg was only voted in Manhattan, this is a NY State poll; btw he didn’t win the democratic primary by that much of a difference anyway

I like the idea of more public housing. However, most of public housing construction was funded by the federal government. They don't do that sort of thing anymore. NYCHA loses money as the rents are set up as a percentage of income driving anyone making a solid income away. And NYCHA is poorly managed.

The most appropriate flair. Don't care if the mods disagree.

If a judge was allowed to make a determination as to the proper sanction against the state for a missing item of discovery instead of immediately imposing the draconian remedy of 30.30 dismissals, maybe we could have a fair process that doesn't require doubling the workforce of DA's offices. For example, preclude the state from calling a witness if they failed to provide discovery related to that witness.

CPL 245.80 actually appears to provide that framework, but hasn't been effectively utilized because 30.30 accrual has become the default remedy.

It’s funny because most of the overwhelming majority also voted in Bragg

Opposed to people consistently being wrongly convicted or held for YEARS on charges that are then dropped due to lack of evidence. Bail is NOT PUNISHMENT. We need to do something but we need an original idea.

Audit this dog shit state agency and clean house of the bloat. This shit needs to be investigated on a federal level.

the solution is paying city employees to do their jobs. a paralegal in the FOIL unit makes $38,000 in new york city, thats fucking absurd in 2023

So let's fund more public/affordable housing. Let's build the housing and when it gets proposed actually build it instead going "well that apartment would be near a really pretty park...so we should just not build it." The NIMBYism in NYC from landlords that also deny section 8 is pathetic.

EXACTLY. But that's what conservatives do best. Knee-jerk, fear monger, and overcorrect based on how many people of the "others" they can hurt in the process.
