I'm super excited to have my first published article in the New York Law Journal! I was able to connect the issue of Emerging Adult Justice (which is near and dear to my heart) with our new bail reform laws, and how courts can best take advantage. https://t.co/8PIVs9JEVW
The DA's Office is proud to be an essential participant in Judge Jared Rice’s Opportunity Youth Part at the New Rochelle City Court, which celebrated its third anniversary Nov. 3 with a moving graduation ceremony for 10 “All Stars” who were lauded in a packed courtroom.
Pleased to attend the powerful Capstone Project to announce the Youth Justice and Equity Team and the Youth Opportunity Part in New Rochelle. Great leadership by many, including @JudgeRice and many others who are committed to a new effort to provide a true "safety net"… (1/2)
Our Justice system needs to take into account that from “a scientific perspective, a person’s 18th birthday is not a rational dividing line…because the brain continues to develop and change rapidly across all the relevant metrics for several more years.”

"When you put the resources in and look at these young people for who they are, you see that they’re much more than what the justice system has labeled them to be." – @JudgeRice of @NewRochelleNY's Opportunity Youth Part court.

Our partner, the New Rochelle Opportunity Youth Part, will present their community-centric approach to emerging adult justice reform at the New York Association of Treatment Court Professionals (NYATCP) this Friday at 10:45am ET. https://t.co/21jpCahP8Z
This is from Chief Judge Janet Difiore highlighting the effectiveness of my brother's (@JudgeRice) "Opportunity Youth Part". I'd love for you to be aware of initiatives like this and to send prayers for more dignifying approaches to our criminal justice system in New York State.
I’m excited that we now have an official mentoring component for our court’s Opportunity Youth Part to work with our Emerging Adult population. Criminal Justice reform can achieve amazing results when you harness the power of your community.
We had our 1st successful #OpportunityYouthPart conference today in the New Rochelle City Court.
The science is clear, brain development studies require that we treat 18-24 year old defendants differently from adults and that we provide them with right-sized justice.
It’s a proud moment for me to have my decision featured in the New York Law Journal. We can all use some good news every now and then. I’m fortunate to have a really good court attorney. https://t.co/AG63UmXPpV
