Manhattan's new district attorney will seek incarceration only for homicide, some violent felonies, and white-collar crime

As Twitchy reported earlier, newly sworn-in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced on Monday that his office will NOT bring charges against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his handling of nursing homes in the opening months of the pandemic. It seems that Bragg is planning to go easy on a lot of criminals; in a new memo, he notes that his office will not seek incarceration for anything but homicide, some violent felonies, and some white-collar crimes.

The New York Post reports:

Who needs soft-on-crime judges when the district attorney doesn’t even want to lock up the bad guys?

Manhattan’s new DA has ordered his prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for hordes of criminals and to downgrade felony charges in cases including armed robberies and drug dealing, according to a set of progressive policies made public Tuesday.

In his first memo to staff on Monday, Alvin Bragg said his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” except with homicides and a handful of other cases, including domestic violence felonies, some sex crimes and public corruption.

The Post includes this excerpt from his memo as an example:

Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

So as long as you don’t shoot anyone while robbing their store, it’s all good.

You’ve got to be a sucker (or just out of shape) to pay to ride the subway now when you can just jump the turnstile.

“Assistant district attorneys must also now keep in mind the ‘impacts of incarceration,’ including whether it really does increase public safety, potential future barriers to convicts involving housing and employment, the financial cost of prison and the racial disparities over who gets time, Bragg instructed.”

So there are racial quotas now.
