While everyone harps about bail reform. Speedy trial reform the other part of criminal justice reform is the real issue and driver of lack of prosecution of crimes and drives DAs to downgrade charges for offenses which contributes more to the revolving door atmosphere ppl feel about crime.

This. There was a story the other day about how the Bronx DA office is down over 100 attorneys plus additional administration staff and are on the verge of trying to strike (they can't legally, but are threatening). The justice system is overburdened and way too slow. Rikers is as bad as it is because people can be trapped there for YEARS without a trial. It was never fair that, faced with the same slow system, some people could buy their way to release from jail and others were doomed to stay there because they couldn't afford bail.

In the business I work in the government mandated all these steps had to be followed within a 3 day time limit for every consumer. Every company accross the country had to comply. So every company came up with a solution. Some hired more people. Some changed processes and procedures. Many used IT solutions or a combination of all of the above and Armageddon did not happen.

In the public sector the DAs have to meet certain deadlines to ensure people have some basic common sense rights for people who are presumed and maybe innocent. Though they just claim they can't do their jobs. These smart lawyers apparently have no ability to change their processes and procedures to conform with the new law.

Plus in the end there should have never needed to even be a law. Everyone that is charged has a right to a speedy fair trial. Somehow over time this was changed to it takes a year to get even the simplest charged decided if you want a trial. Though somehow it' was still considered a speedy fair trial. Plead or rot in jail because you could not make bail and we won't even show you the evidence we have because if you don't plead we may or may not sandbag you right before trial. That is not justice

When you have defense lawyers no longer claiming their client is innocent but rather the time to prosecute has expired you know the reform was shiet. This is the norm right now in our courts.

Now, regarding speedy trial reform. If you want to reform and put a finite time frame but provide no resources or means to achieve set deadline, it's a failure of a reform.

Speedy trial reform should be suspended just like what we did during covid until we have the proper resources and finish clearing out our backlog to properly implement it.

So do what the feds do and not arrest and charge someone before you finish the investigation. Make sure you can comply with discovery. Maybe come up with a new computer system where the procecutors can share the discovery with the defense at the click of a button. The procecutors should be screeming that they need more resources or a computer system or whatever solution they want. Lawyers are some of the smartest people in the country and they can't figure out how to get evidence to a defendant in a timely manner?

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.

It’s a revolving door because it’s too expensive to keep people locked up for petty crimes. Honestly, if you did lock up most of the petty criminals for long periods of time the police would likely go back to harassing everyday citizens for “activity”.

The petty criminals allow the culture of collars for dollars to exist in the first place.

its not just petty crime getting let out due to section 30.30.

Some great defenses presented here by the writer.

“The kid almost shot his own crotch off as police roughed him up—clearly he was not a wannabe cop killer.”

Great, he ain’t a wannabe cop killer. He just another person walking around with an illegal gun on multiple occasions. Shockingly he was busted again with a gun. Keep on releasing him back to the streets. He will end up dead or kill somebody with everybody then asking “how could this have happened?”

Teen Bronx drill rapper C Blu busted with gun months after skirting criminal charges in NYPD shooting

“Nash did have assault on his record. It’s not clear what he did, but it couldn’t have been worse than hitting or even shoving someone since he was charged with class-A misdemeanor, the lowest charge for assault. Felony assault remains bail-eligible.”

Nash had racked up 12 other arrest across numerous states. So somebody with 12 arrest is randomly punching people and the author thinks “whoop, class A misdemeanor, no big deal”

“The career criminal has racked up at least a dozen arrests in New York and New Jersey dating back to 2012, when he was just a teen, according to court records and sources.”

Assamad Nash charged in Chinatown murder of Christina Yuna Lee

“Elliot, 63, was socked in the face by murder suspect Assamad Nash, 25, in September at the Grand Street subway station – mere blocks from Christina Yuna Lee’s Chrystie Street apartment where she was slaughtered early Sunday morning.”

Prior victim of alleged Chinatown killer Assamad Nash says ‘Lock him up!’

The last two cases seem to be blocked from reading unless one subscribes. Based on the first two I can only imagine what the other cases were.

In the first case, the new bail law didn't change the outcome. He was assessed $250,000.00 cash bail, and was able to make it. He wasn't simply released without bail. Blaming this on cash bail reform is a flat out lie.

PandaJ108 t1_iwnm5bn wrote

So he is released due to some other flaws in the criminal justice system. At the end of the day, somebody who makes a habit of walking around with an illegal gun is out in the streets.

While politicians are going back and forth blaming each other, New Yorkers are the ones that have to deal with the person walking around with the illegal gun. Or with the guy with 12+ arrest who is randomly punching and killing people.

I'm sorry to tell you that no system in the world is going to be perfect.

It's just naive for you to sit here and pretend that there was a system where because of eliminated any sort of mistake.

Again, it's moving the goal posts. The point of article is that Eric Adams is lying about bail reform and the first example is a perfect reason of why Eric Adams is lying about bail reform. And then when you are faced with that you just change the subject. But the point is that Eric Adams is lying about Bail reform.

There a wide gap between perfect and keeping people with a documented history of violence off the streets. Like the guy mentioned in the 2nd example. There is reason you latched on the first example only.

What’s the reason for Nash “slipping by”? Arrest in multiple states including for robbery. Randomly assaulting people in the streets.

It seems like every subway shover that been arrested is somebody with 10+ arrest that just happen to slip by as well. Seems like your willing to accept that as the norm cause “no system is perfect”. Most New Yorkers won’t.

Remanding repeat violent offenders into custody does not mean locking everybody up like in 80s. It’s literally the exact opposite.

spicytoastaficionado t1_iwps7c3 wrote

This ceased to be a serious article when the author began downplaying how disastrous policies allowed Christina Lee's murderer to be walking free before he killed her, in addition to obscuring his criminal history.

The guy had, just a few months prior, randomly assaulted a subway commuter. The author claims it was "not clear what he did", even though his violent criminal history was widely reported in the aftermath of Lee's brutal slaying.

Ask yourself why this author is going out of her way to obscure the nature of Nash's violent criminal history.

Either she is a shitty journalist blogger who doesn't know how to use Google, or she is intentionally hiding details to fit her narrative. Going by her byline, it seems to be the latter as she appears to prefer innuendo over facts when writing advocacy pieces (which is all she does).

Assamad Nash assaulting a random subway commuter should have been enough to remand him into custody + mandate psychiatric evaluation, if we had a sensible justice system.

​

On top of that, she then goes into how Nash had committed another crime shortly before murdering Ms. Lee. Again, she intentionally does not include what the actual crime was (damaging dozens of MetroCard machines in multiple subway stations) and instead speculates it could have been for squatting or accidentally damaging property.

And then there is this gem:

>Looked at from another perspective, if judges remanded suspects or set prohibitively high bail in the pettiest of crimes—damaged property worth a quarter of the cost of an iPhone, in this case—literally everyone arrested for anything would get sent to Rikers. How’s that tenable?

She specifies a specific crime, in this case property damage, but then shifts to "everyone arrested for anything" as a justification for why psychos who go around fucking up public property shouldn't be held pre-trial. Classic slippery slope fallacy.

No, detaining someone who goes around fucking up MetroCard machines doesn't mean every single misdemeanor offense leads to a Rikers stay. FFS.

Bringing back cash bail for more offenses isn't the answer. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the pretrial detention system so that psychos like the piece of shit who killed Ms. Lee are not allowed to just roam the city streets after assaulting people.

When people like this author obscure facts and misrepresent cases in order to push their talking points, it comes across as bad-faith hackery. It may be enough to fool gullible, low-information readers, which is probably the point given that is her audience, but she comes across as disingenuous to anyone who is even remotely researched on the cases mentioned.

This is your totem isn't it? The sharp rise in crime from two people. Go on. Even the NYPost isn't saying that. Maybe you should lobby them.

way to deflect....so ok for Gendron to get off due speedy trial reform if he failed to kill anyone plus DA was backlog and failed to bring case due to time limit. got it.

It isn't happening crime isn't up because of it. You don't even have the numbers of how many have been dismissed.

Of course innocent until proven guilty. Pushing someone on the tracks, assaulting people on the train. You are innocent and just waiting for your conviction.

People who push people onto tracks are not being released without bail.

Tell me about it. This is a convicted felon who was also on parole. He beat up a guy and fractured his skull. Released without bail. No wonder Southern Brooklyn voted Republican.

Why are southern Brooklyn voters, voting Republican, over a crime committed in the Bronx?

The Bronx DA has no jurisdiction over Brooklyn.

I suspect they don't know that each borough has its own elected DA and Alvin Bragg isn't the only DA for all of us.

Correct.

Even the comments about Alvin Braggs be inaccurate. If everyone didn’t like what he was campaigning on, in favor of bail reform, then why didn’t they get the message out and vote against him. Instead they blame the people that voted for him without giving any context as to how those same voters, in favor of Braggs, are directly affected by cash-bails and the conditions of Rikers Island.
