First, the overwhelming majority of cases are handled via plea bargain.
Second, this one guy got a plea because as the article states he didn’t start the fight, left during it, and has no priors. Other defendants from this attack are facing more serious charges.
Third, dov hinkind is like a compass that always points south - wrong on virtually everything.

That actually makes the conduct worse, not better.
He attacked the guy who was already on the ground in a more vulnerable position, while being overwhelmed by a large quantity of attackers.

I swear there's like an entire cottage industry dedicated to inciting hatred against Alvin Bragg. Does any other DA get anywhere near this same level of scrutiny? Could the average reddit user even name the district attorneys for any of the other boroughs?

I think a lot of the people tryna hate on him don’t even understand basic civics; i’ve seen people on here criticizing him for stuff done by other boroughs’ district attorneys.

He does deserve some hate , but yeah . He’s been the scapegoat for whenever something bad happens in Manhattan and even other boroughs he has no authority over

By his own admission they dismissed about 67% of cases because they were too much work…. He’s work and performance are pathetic. But those that voted for him deserve what they get.

The lack of basic knowledge most people have about NYC is alarming honestly. So many people don’t realize each borough has its own DA.

I can name multiple users on this sub who pretty much exclusively use their time to disparage Bragg, Bail Reform, and AOC.

People lose their minds with krasner in Philly too but he got re-elected in a landslide despite Philly having much worse violent crime than NYC. It is funny seeing people make Bragg out to be like krasner though. He’s not even close to as radical as krasner

It’s because he didn’t want to charge Trump. Everything else stems from his refusal.

Thanks for the clarification, I was getting furious when reading the headline and comments on this thread. Don’t get me wrong,Bragg has to go . But at least is not as insane as I thought this news would be

Suit yourself i guess, i don’t live in manhattan but i think he’s better than vance, weinstein, or kenriff. Up for reelection in 2025 so plenty of time for you to prepare your campaign.
