Two city district attorneys made their case for discovery law reform in Albany on Monday, emphasizing the need to protect victims. However, left-wing lawmakers are staunchly opposing the proposed changes.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Bronx DA Darcel Clark advocated for the reforms put forth by Gov. Kathy Hochul, stressing that it is about justice and compliance, not gaining a competitive advantage.

The issue of discovery law reform is a significant sticking point in the state budget negotiations, with all five city DAs supporting Hochul’s proposal to prevent criminal cases from being dismissed on technicalities.

Despite the support from the DAs, some lawmakers, including members of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, and Asian legislative caucus, rallied against the changes, urging their colleagues to keep the existing law strong.

Lawmakers are divided on how closely evidence-sharing requirements should align with speedy trial statutes, with DAs advocating for judges to have discretion in applying sanctions for non-compliance.

While the negotiations over the budget continue, both legislative leaders and the DAs have expressed a willingness to find a compromise that addresses the issue of case dismissals without compromising the integrity of the criminal justice system.

The New York State Bar Association has endorsed Hochul’s proposed changes, stating that the reforms will benefit victims, ensure fair justice, and provide defendants with the necessary tools for a fair trial.

Overall, the debate over discovery law reform in New York is ongoing, with stakeholders on both sides working towards a resolution that balances the interests of victims, defendants, and the public.
