There is an unwritten rule in our criminal justice system that judges will believe the word of a cop over the word of an accused. This is one of many reasons that some police and prosecutors become emboldened and act as if they are above the law.

[Justin Brown @CJBrownLaw]

The problems with police run deeper than rogue cops. It's also the prosecutors and judges who allow officers to exaggerate in search warrant applications, embellish on the witness stand, and from time to time fabricate evidence.

It’s more important than ever for legal service workers to be unionized. This will strengthen the workplace and improve their ability to zealously fight for the folks we fight for in court. We are proud to welcome @BxDUnion to the ALAA family & hope management quickly recognizes

[The Bronx Defenders Union - UAW Local 2325 @BxDUnion]

For 23 yrs, BXD has provided legal services to low income Bronx residents via a holistic defense approach. Today, BXD Staff have organized to form a union to ensure the continued effectiveness of that approach. We call on BXD management to recognize our Union #BXDU #UAW @alaa2325

If they are so damn "troubled" maybe they should stop opposing requests for release of the medically vulnerable

We have letters from the Rikers Docs for each person saying they are high risk and yet @QueensDAKatz @BronxDAClark @ManhattanDA @BrooklynDA

Oped: Cuomo is exploiting a pandemic to roll back bail reform #NoRollBacks

"To exploit the coronavirus panic to silently kill this reform is not only unconscionable; it is inhumane."

‼️NY is trying to *secretly* pass THE WORST BAIL LEGISLATION IN NY HISTORY (that too during a pandemic)‼️@NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins we’re appalled and disgusted by your inhumanity. #NoRollbacks 🤬🤬🤬

[Center for Community Alternatives @CCA_NY]

BREAKING: 40 state legislators call on @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie to not rollback bail reform.

35 members @NYSA_Majority and 5 members @NYSenDems declare changes to the bail law, which would put more legally innocent people in jail, “a non-starter.”

#NoRollbacks

[@citizenactionny.org on bluesky @citizenactionny]

🚨URGENT🚨: Tweet at @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins & tell them they MUST protect @blindfoldrepeal from @NYGovCuomo. Changes to #bailreform will put more ppl in jail. Caving on discovery reform will ensure that those same ppl get railroaded & wrongfully convicted by prosecutors.

[ALAA - UAW 2325 @alaa2325]

Region 9A of the UAW’s statement on bail roll backs. Bail reform is one of the most significant civil rights gains in New York’s history. It is insulting and undemocratic for the legislature to roll back bail reform with a bill no one has seen in the middle of the night

[Katie Schaffer @KatieH_Schaffer]

We are all vulnerable to this crisis.

People behind bars are particularly vulnerable.

And yet you continue to push #bailreform rollbacks to incarcerate TENS OF THOUSANDS more NYers BEFORE TRIAL during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC through a SECRET bill.

Despicable.

🚨WATCH IT HERE🚨 If you missed today's emergency bail reform rally, watch it NOW: https://t.co/2AEJ6Uhovc.

Then CALL & TWEET @NYGovCuomo and @AndreaSCousins: do not pass a secret law to jail thousands more people pretrial. Tell @CarlHeastie to keep fighting!

***JOINT DEFENDER STATEMENT ON ATTEMPTS TO GUT BAIL REFORM***

It is unconscionable that lawmakers would use a public health crisis as leverage to pass a bill that would increase jail populations across the state.

This would ultimately set New York decades backwards
