It would be hard for a prosecutor to have a worse record than Alvin Bragg.
- According to the New York Post, “since taking office … Bragg has downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors — compared to 39% in all of 2019.”
- The Post: “When serious felony charges are brought, Bragg’s office wins a conviction just 51% of the time — down from 68% in 2019, the last year before the pandemic disrupted the court system.”
- It’s the result of a pro-violent crime agenda Bragg began on day one with one of his very first actions ordering prosecutors to downgrade many violent crimes, stop seeking prison sentences for many violent criminals, and not prosecute serious crimes like resisting arrest.
- Police say Bragg “emboldened” violent criminals, with one NYC police union president saying Bragg’s “message was sent to the criminal element… I believe they feel 100% emboldened. And not only are the police in danger, but the public is in grave danger."
In one horrifying example of Bragg’s warped priorities, “A man accused of raping his teenage relative secured a sweetheart plea deal [from Bragg] — and then went on to allegedly sexually terrorize five people in the Bronx just a month later.”
Tragically, that is not the only example of repeat offenders viciously attacking innocent people in Manhattan. In November, a woman was brutally raped by a homeless man with 25 prior arrests.
The dangerous pro-crime agendas of far-left prosecutors and governors are destroying lives. Bragg is one of the worst offenders.
