Maybe you should read the part of the article that talks about possible reasons for the demographic change

I don’t think you actually read what I wrote because you’re not responding to it.

Again, the problem is not requiring more discovery, but imposing a penalty completely disproportionate to the items not turned over, especially when those items aren’t in the people’s possession.

No, that’s just choosing to write about one topic and not another. Whataboutism is you posting about an unrelated topic in the comments.

The system will always be flawed with this law. When you give a defendant the chance to dismiss a case because the prosecution didn’t turn over the memobook for the 6th officer who responded to a scene, the defense is going to file a motion to dismiss. Then that takes months to resolve, slowing down the case, and clogging the courts further. Now prosecutors are so busy all cases are being plead down, and nobody has time for trial, so tons of discovery is being shared so nobody goes to trial.

In the same way the bail law gives judges no discretion, the discovery law gives judges no discretion to weigh the importance/prejudice of any items not turned over.

Nobody is saying NY should go back to the old ways for discovery, but there are other states that have balanced criminal discovery in a way that doesn’t result in the dismissals NY has.

Certain crimes are up, it’s just shooting and homicides that are down

Soon? It already happened. These “reforms” are a big reason republicans won so many house seats in NY.

Whataboutism

Good for Bragg’s staffer

> none of those people would identify as black

Is people’s race determined solely based on what they identify as.?

Alvin Bragg should just hide in the shower, Jim Jordan will always turn a blind eye to what’s going on there

No they had to find the perfect person who had marijuana conviction, but none or a negligible criminal history aside from that, who also was driven and capable of opening a small business. Then that person had to jump through complex regulations. No wonder.

Lol 5 are open, 3 of which are in Manhattan, and none in the outer boroughs

Didn’t they push more officers into the subway and create more overtime for them?

>Bail is required to be offered in almost all cases even murder.

Not true, some people are simply remanded.

>Otherwise the police could completely destroy lives (how long will your employer let you keep your job while you are in Rikers?) with the mere charge of any violent offense, and just drop charges after a few months of you being in jail without any consequence.

People often forget that for felonies where bail is set, the case has to be indicted in front of a grand jury within ~3 days of the offense. For violent offenses, that often means the victim has to testify or there needs be some other proof of the violent act.

Far better to complain on reddit

For violating something with a civil penalty?

Fake license plates are a felony

Is that an arrestable offense like forging a public instrument is?

Lmao tell me you know nothing about the NYC criminal Justice system without telling me

And allowing mass migration of talented and able bodied workers from those countries is not going to help them

> by returning to a “union shop” system—meaning union contribution responsibilities are shared across all employees hired into union-eligible positions regardless of membership status

So forcing non-Union members to pay towards the union? Fuck that.

Bill will pass by 2025, then by 2037 they will have exactly one shop set up with a 300% tax markup

Yes, its called a representative sample

Sorry to inform you

Who’s going to be outraged when it’s middle/upper class people being ousted. Nobody’s punching down.
