Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded a staggering 60 percent of felony cases to lesser charges in the last year, data from his office shows.

The progressive DA reduced 938 of the most serious charged in 2023, 834 of which were brought down to misdemeanors.

Under Bragg, the percentage of felonies downgraded has increased to 60 - up from 53% percent under his predecessor. Bragg's team defended the figures stating the office's performance is on a par with other New York boroughs and higher when it comes to felony convictions.

Trump should wear a hoodie and beat up a cop. Bragg will drop all of his charges.

The only way idiots like this change is if the criminals start attacking them or their families.

No pity, none. These dolts in NYC elect cretins like Bragg. So let them live with the consequences.

Memphis dumped 75% of their criminal prosecutions in the 2022-2023 year. Multiple Murders, let walk.

Biggest joke ever played on a black city residents by black court staff. Only work 25% of the cases. It's like it's open season on black folks by black folks and governed by black folks.

Los Angeles DA Gascon has at least 13,000 cases waiting. The number he has let go is much higher.

Bragg’s boys

Despite Bragg’s being forced by public outrage to flip back to being “somewhat” lawful after the cop beating, one savage Venezuelan (who was ordered to leave the country last year) had his bail set at $1. However – it is not expected to be paid (they know this how?). The move allows him to avoid deportation while in custody.

Bragg caved on catch and release? Imagine that.....the “son of Harlem” can read the tea leaves.

Knows he better shape-up........or else......a fast food job awaits him.

Bragg has personal security. He won’t be worried.

In the DA's defense, he can't publicly state that New York City can't hire assistant prosecutors nor public defenders without the bond ratings taking a massive hit.

Since so many of these criminals are on living off the taxpayers and the right to an attorney has become corrupted into the "right" to have taxpayers pay for an attorney, the DA has no choice but to plea them down or let them go.

From the Miranda Warning:

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.

Of these 900+ criminals whose charges got lowered to a misdemeanor or deleted entirely, what percent were black-brown-Muslum-homosexual?

Of those left with multiple felony charges, what percent were white or straight?

What is the breakdown of the downgrades vs. the race of the perp, vs. the political affiliation of the perp, vs. the type of crime, and vs. the criminal record of the perp?
