Progressives’ pro-crime discovery law lets abusers walk scot-free

Progressives’ pro-crime discovery law lets abusers walk scot-free
SHARE

Abusers in New York are escaping justice due to the state’s lenient “discovery” rules and the politicians who support them. A recent case in Manhattan highlighted the consequences of these rules, where a man accused of assaulting his girlfriend walked free because of a technicality. The victim was unable to obtain a restraining order against him and had to relocate due to continued harassment.

The dismissal of the case was due to prosecutors failing to disclose information about one of the arresting officers’ past disciplinary issues. This error, which may seem trivial, resulted in the perpetrator being set free. New York’s 2019 discovery reforms require prosecutors to provide defense attorneys with a vast amount of evidence within a strict timeframe, including all police disciplinary records for officers involved in the case. If the defense can show that any information was overlooked, regardless of relevance, the case is dismissed.

Governor Kathy Hochul is calling for a more reasonable approach to these rules, suggesting that cases should not be thrown out unless it can be proven that the lack of disclosure harmed the defendant. However, progressive lawmakers are resistant to this change, despite the detrimental impact the current rules have had on crime victims. Forced dismissals have increased by 455% since the law was enacted, leading to a decline in prosecutions for domestic violence and a significant drop in misdemeanor convictions.

The overwhelming burden of compliance with these rules has strained prosecutor offices, forcing them to prioritize cases based on severity. As a result, many cases are not pursued, leaving victims vulnerable and without recourse. It is clear that the current system prioritizes the rights of criminals over the safety and well-being of victims.

Ultimately, the failure to address these issues highlights a disturbing trend where the interests of abusers are given precedence over those they have harmed. It is imperative that lawmakers prioritize the needs of victims and ensure that justice is served in cases of domestic violence and abuse.
