12:51Now PlayingManhattan’s first Black district attorney is facing heavy criticism for his progressive approach on fighting crime.
Alvin Bragg campaigned on the promise to make major changes in how certain crimes would be prosecuted and is making good on that promise.
In a memo sent to his staff, Bragg instructed prosecutors to only ask for jail or prison time for the most serious crimes, and not pursue charging lower-level crimes.
BNC legal contributor Paul Henderson joins Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to offer some insight on what this tension could mean for the overall safety and fairness of New Yorkers.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
