NYC DA Alvin Bragg today:
"These are felony crimes in New York State, no matter who you are. We cannot, and will not, normalize serious criminal conduct."
NYC DA Alvin Bragg last year:
New York City's district attorney downgraded 52% of all felony cases so far in 2022 to misdemeanors ... In 2021, District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran on a campaign in favor of criminal justice reform, promising to uphold changes to the law that allows cash bail for violent crimes ... Bragg won his campaign and took office on Jan. 1, and just days later, he released a "Day One" memo to staff directing them to downgrade certain felonies, including armed robberies of commercial businesses, and to no longer seek jail time for many serious offenses.
No matter who you are, eh?
