Albany’s getting set to sock New York with yet MORE pro-criminal laws

Parents entrust the safety of their children to the school bus each morning, expecting them to return home unharmed. Similarly, seniors take their dogs for a walk in their neighborhoods, assuming they are safe environments. These are not extravagances; they are fundamental expectations of a well-functioning society.

However, the safety of our communities is under threat due to dangerous legislation in Albany. Two controversial bills, namely the Elder Parole Bill and the Fair and Timely Parole Act, are set to open prison doors and allow convicted murderers and violent criminals to be released back into society.

As the Suffolk County District Attorney, I cannot stand idly by while public safety is compromised for the sake of ideology. These bills pose a significant risk to the well-being of our communities.

The Elder Parole Bill purports to be a compassionate measure by allowing inmates over the age of 55 who have served at least 15 years to seek parole. However, this could potentially lead to individuals like Colin Ferguson, the perpetrator of the infamous Long Island Rail Road massacre in 1993, being considered for parole. Ferguson callously murdered six innocent commuters and injured many others in a senseless shooting spree. Allowing individuals like him the opportunity for parole every two years is a grave injustice to the victims and their families.

Similarly, the Fair and Timely Parole Act seeks to change the parole hearing process by focusing primarily on the current risk posed by an inmate rather than their past actions. This could result in violent offenders like Michael Valva, a former NYPD officer convicted of the heinous murder of his own son, being considered for parole based on their behavior in prison rather than the severity of their crimes. Valva’s actions, which led to the tragic death of his 8-year-old son, Thomas, are unforgivable and should not be minimized by the parole system.

While I believe in the importance of rehabilitation and second chances, there are certain crimes that are so heinous that those who commit them should not be allowed to roam freely among society. The proposed parole bills undermine the principles of justice and prioritize the well-being of criminals over the safety of our communities.

It is crucial for New Yorkers to voice their opposition to these bills by contacting their state senators and assembly members. We must advocate for the rights of victims and uphold our duty to prioritize public safety above all else.

The potential passage of these bills threatens to retraumatize victims, disrupt the peace of our communities, and make our neighborhoods less safe. We cannot allow misguided criminal justice reforms to further jeopardize the well-being of our society.

It is imperative that we stand together to oppose the Elder Parole Bill and the Fair and Timely Parole Act, and demand that our legislators prioritize the safety and well-being of our communities. Let us not forget the victims and uphold our responsibility to ensure a safer future for all.
