Reply to comment by kanooker in Eric Adams blames bail reform for everything—here are 4 cases where he was wrong or lied. by kanooker
Pointing out the dramatic shift in defense tactics since speedy trial reform went into effect in our court rooms. Defense now simply cite 30.30 at every given chance now. Also happening in cases we know the perp did the deed as well. Its not like we don't have evidence they did it, defense wants it all toss out pre-trial because of time limits from reform

My friend defense attorneys work for the defendant.
It would be malpractice otherwise and they could lose their license if they don't use every defense available to them.
What's wrong with you?
KaiDaiz t1_iwmncyz wrote
yes lets criminals we know did the deed walk. walk before a jury has a chance to listen to case. great reform. hence why its contributing to feeling of increased crime and nothing done about it

They are doing their jobs, it's against the law not to. What don't you understand?
KaiDaiz t1_iwmnrun wrote
then don't object to why ppl complaining crime is increasing bc of it

Are you a child? Do you have evidence that there are that many people using this defense and then getting arrested again? No. You are just using your imagination and your feelings.

plenty of cases of of folks caught in act and go unprosecuted bc of 30.30 and in one I recall regarding a driver that killed someone, case dismiss due to reform and continues to be reckless on road. future victim in the waiting.

Plenty of folks are anecdotes. Statistics are statistics. Stop trying to convince your mom, this is the internet.
KaiDaiz t1_iwmr3em wrote
you know you can read those cases and if you want stats. Ask the DA offices around NYC. See how much increased drop cases since reform enacted. We have Bronx, Queens and other DA office in state go to press saying its hampering their prosecution efforts.

It's not the defense attorney who is wrong. The procecutors are wrong. They are not doing their job. I would be they are doing the same thing they have done for 50 years and have not changed their policies and procedures to conform to the law. It was BS for decades how procecutors could just withhold evidence sandbagging a defendent then delay everything for a very long time till the defendent pleads guilty or not just to get on with their life. When 98% of the cases are just a negotiation between procecutor and defense attorney without actual trials anymore os their really justice.
Everyone knows the game. Over charge. Dangle the trial penalty over the defendent. If they are already locked up on bail all the better. The procecutors hide what they really have to just before a trial thats never going to happen. Then negotiate the charges down to clear the cases guilty or not.
I am not saying the procecutors do t thing the person is not guilty. I am sure they do. Though that's the jury's job. They are effectively the procecutor, jury (they just plead everything)and judge ( they decided what evidence to share before the eventual plea) in every case for the last 30 or 40 years.
