Recent bail reform means NY doesn’t anymore in most minor cases. You’re either freed til trial or not depending on judgment of flight and violence risk. Big republican talking point because a lot of R judges have just been releasing violent repeat offenders to stir the pot. So Dems are trying to reform the reform to be a bit more feasible and Republicans want to return to previous where even petty theft could have you locked up for years waiting for trial if you couldn’t make bail.
Do you know the details of this particular case? Or are you just basing this on a headline you read?
In this climate of disappearing people who disagree with you, and targeting political opponents, I’m not sure I’m comfortable with locking everyone up without due process.
Not saying it’s the case, at all, but if you wanted to take someone down, planting cp on their computer is a sure fire way to do it. Particularly because of (understandable) knee jerk reactions like yours.

This really confirms that the judiciary is just another branch of the political parties.
Always has been.
“Minor” cases, indeed.

Woooosh. Yes, they’re basing their dad joke on the headline and it’s enought for the joke to work well.
