I didn't mention the DA at all.

Yet you made the assumption. I said the city and I should have said the state. Regardless it is the same political machine that put the state judges and the city ones

I made no assumption. But your comment’s lack of clarity (and, as you admit, false info) could easily lead anyone who read it to believe that the choice to vacate the first degree murder sentence was a bad (perhaps political?) decision on the part of the DA’s office.

Clearly, the defendant’s lawyers filed an appeal that was ruled favorably upon by the state supreme court. What exactly is your problem with that?

I made a mistake and it was more about the politics then the DA. If I meant the DA I would have said so.

My problem is the political ideas and the machine that has enabled this.

I understand that, but what I'm trying to get at is that based on the article you linked, the circumstances surrounding the case you're referring to has literally nothing to do with "political ideas and the machine".
