It's all about impossible paperwork goals. New study shows how NY law puts bad guys back on streets
A controversial new evidence law has led to big surges in the number of cases that prosecutors are being forced to drop across the Big Apple — fueling crime by putting suspected bad guys back on the streets without ever having to face justice, a new study obtained by The Post reveals.
The rate at which cases were dismissed citywide rose from 44% in 2019 — the year new “discovery” rules were adopted by state lawmakers — to 69% by mid-October 2021, the Manhattan Institute finds in the report, set for release Thursday.
That isn't an unintended consequence. That is by design. The Left believes that keeping violent offenders in jail is unfair. The fact that crime is increasing doesn't bother them for some reason. (Who exactly is that fair to?)
The only thing that is surprising is that the reporter is shocked - Shocked! - to find that the defense attorneys are gaming the system. Again, that is how the system was designed.
Go read the whole thing.
