Manhattan has hemorrhaged about 12% of the staff so far this year
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.
FIRE the WOKE !!!!!
They better FLEE before they get Locked up !!!!!!
It’s a recipe for an even weaker court system. As replacements they’ll hire junior lawyers who will do their bidding.
Elected officials who serve only their agenda – not that of the people.
When will folks wise up, if ever?
