Requires Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to be booted intensified Monday after the controversial prosecutor’s resolution to take Daniel Penny to trial in Jordan Neely’s chokehold loss of life.
The condemnation started simply minutes after Penny was acquitted of negligent murder expenses.
“Case after case Alvin Bragg demonstrates contempt for reality and common sense – pursuing heroes like Daniel Penny while allowing criminals to roam our streets,” one Queens council member mentioned. “For the sake of New Yorkers, the governor must remove him,” “This cannot continue.”
Becoming a member of the calls was state Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (R-Staten Island), who charged that Bragg “wasted taxpayer dollars” on the case.
“Penny was wrongfully accused and slandered to better serve the DA’s skewed agenda. New Yorkers stood up against the unlawfulness and dishonesty,” the lawmaker mentioned. “If only Alvin Bragg actually did his job and protected New Yorkers the city would be a lot safer than it is today.”
Councilman Joe Borelli (D-Staten Island) mentioned the case “underscores nothing other than the perverse sense of justice held by Alvin Bragg.”
“The district attorney should resign in shame.”
The Manhattan DA has lengthy been the goal of critics of his soft-on-crime fame, together with submitting expenses in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump and bodega employee Jose Alba, whose deadly stabbing of a violent intruder was in the end dismissed as self-defense.
“Alvin Bragg has failed in his responsibilities to enforce the law and keep New Yorkers safe. Sadly, he has engaged in political prosecutions on numerous cases, including President Trump, Daniel Penny and Jose Alba,” US Rep. Michael Lawler mentioned in a press release Monday. “He should be removed from office immediately.”
In a launch after the decision Bragg’s workplace mentioned prosecutors “followed the facts and the evidence in the case,” settle for the jury’s verdict.
