How many times can Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg get it wrong when it comes to criminals and crime victims? His prosecutors declined to charge the woman who stabbed bodega clerk Jose Alba, arguing that she was just defending her boyfriend.
This, though she began the deadly altercation by bringing Austin Simon, her irate ex-con boyfriend, into the store and forcing the 61-year-old Alba to act in self defense. Somehow, Bragg still thinks the bodega worker was the aggressor.
After meeting with United Bodegas of America leaders Tuesday, Bragg is hinting that he might drop the second-degree murder charge against Alba (with $250,000 bail), filed after Simon died at the hospital.
Yet the same surveillance video that led to Alba getting a much lower $5,000 bond and winning release from Rikers also shows the woman assaulting him. What would have befallen the poor clerk if that video evidence was unavailable?

Arrest the man who defended himself and let the woman who stabbed him walk with no charges. He's gotta go.
Another reason of many to avoid NYC.
It’s run by criminals
Have they no tar? no feathers? no rails? do they know the way out of town?
Gotham has turned into....Gotham.
He needs to be fired. Right now. Keep the pressure on.
Call Governor Honchul, (518) 474-8390.
At least her BF’s walking days are over.
I would say that Jose Alba should sue the woman in Civil court, but she is just a welfare hoe and it would be a waste of his time and money.
This could be the mindset of Alvin Bragg. The trouble is...he’s the police chief of an entire city, not just some black neighborhood. He’s a racist who has no business in a job serving the public.
"It's pronounced botty-ga."
You beat me to it.
This f**ktard excuse of an officer of the court is a prime candidate for several sessions of wall-to-wall continuing education.
Racist POS
No, she wasn't defending her boyfriend and she sure as hell wasn't defending herself, she was helping her boyfriend attack the worker. She should be charged with serious offenses.
Yeah, she didn't even have $3 for a bag of chips.
Does the governor have the authority to fire the New York DA?
Even if Bragg refuses to charge her with assault, the fact she brought Simon to the store to confront Alba, and then Simon assaulted him, would make the woman a co-conspirator in Simon’s assault. No doubt, Bragg will ignore that charge as well.
Is her name made public yet, or is Lizzy Borden-eisha still being protected by the media.
