New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg has a history of condemnation for soft -on-crime policies despite reported plans to arrest former President Donald Trump.
"It is our position that you have prematurely substituted your version of events for the fact-finding functions of the jury and neither honored your promise to the court or to my family to seek even a measure of accountability," the brother of slain man James Murray, Steven Murray, wrote to Bragg in December.
He tweeted in support of McCarter’s release in the run-up to his election and ultimately secured his bid to drop murder charges against the woman, which the family of the slain man said was"100%" motivated by the donation from Color of Change.
In 2022, during Bragg’s first year as Manhattan’s top prosecutor, he downgraded more than half of felony cases to misdemeanors. He campaigned on criminal justice reform and sent a"Day One" memo to staff upon taking office to downgrade certain felonies, such as armed robberies of commercial businesses. The move came at a time when crimes were up 27.6% in New York City, Fox News Digital previously reported.The NYPD responds at Columbus Circle.
