As this new article from @bytamarsarai shows, criminalization—policing, prosecution, trial, and incarceration—replicates and perpetuates the cycle of abuse for survivors. Please join us in demanding that @ManhattanDA #StandWithTracy https://t.co/pP1ub3pNAc

Twenty eight years after he was wrongfully convicted, @ZMOLawPLLC client James Pugh took the stand for the first time to explain what happened: "In some ways this is the most important day of Jimmy Pugh's life," @zmolaw shared with New Channel 4 in Buffalo.

[ZMO Law PLLC @ZMOLawPLLC]

"I did 26 and a half years for a crime I did not commit," client James Pugh, said on the stand while being questioned by @zmolaw. @ZMOLawPLLC is currently working to exonerate Pugh after he was wrongfully convicted for murder in 1994.

Did you know that one can apply for compassionate release, even if sentenced to a mandatory minimum?

A key example of smart criminal justice reform is in here: a pharmacy had been targeted by repeat shoplifters. The DA worked w/ NYPD to arrest them, but rather than jail them, spoke to them, & got them in programs that met their specific needs. https://t.co/Vnso4aXw6G

“This sort of practice—whatever the intent behind it—clearly creates major deterrence to a group we know to be uniquely vulnerable and to a category of cases that is one of the hardest to successfully prosecute," San Francisco's Chesa Boudin says. https://t.co/sfPptVzsAQ

No @NYCMayor, Rolling Back Reforms is Not the Answer to Gun Violence

[The Legal Aid Society @LegalAidNYC]

"Even data directly from the NYPD debunked its own repeatedly recycled claim that bail reform led to a spike in gun violence. The data speaks for itself — there is no evidence linking bail reform to any spike in crime."

Amid backlash against policies in his "First Day Memo," Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg sent around an update that appears to reverse some of his previous stances. @ZMOLawPLLC attorney @TessMCohen told @nytimes the changes are "more symbolic than substantive." https://t.co/KIxaL1skCb

As Chair of the Committee on Criminal Justice, I’ll work with all levels of government to address the humanitarian crises at Rikers Island and in our criminal legal system.

I echo the call of Defenders citywide, and invite @POTUS to tour Rikers when he visits NYC this week.

Glad to quoted explaining that I think the criticism of @AlvinBraggNYC Day 1 memo is based largely on misunderstandings of what his memo meant. https://t.co/AFB1IUvplR
