NYC prosecutors flee in droves amid soft-on-crime policies, burdensome state reforms

Hundreds of prosecutors in New York City are quitting the district attorneys' offices amid controversial criminal justice reforms.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office this year has hemorrhaged 65 assistant district attorneys, which is about 12% of the staff.
Bragg released a memo on his third day in office, ordering prosecutors not to seek prison sentences for a number of crimes and to downgrade charges – including for robberies and commercial burglaries.
Manhattan's situation mirrors that of Brooklyn, where 67 prosecutors — approximately 13% — have resigned from DA Eric Gonzalez's office as of June 17, with three more leaving last Thursday alone, according to the New York Post. In 2020, 84 resigned, and 94 left office in 2021. Fifty-nine prosecutors have quit in the Bronx beginning this year through May.

Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney and trial division chief who prosecuted Harvey Weinstein, told the New York Post that such regulations are "crippling our lawyers."
"You become a file clerk rather than a trial lawyer," she said, providing the example of how every officer's bodycam footage at a protest might have to be produced if there are allegations of wrongdoing.

Isn't that what the deranged commies that run that once great city want?

Great, that just means they will find people to hire who will do their bidding and fall in line. The good ones worth a shite are the ones leaving.

Nah. They're just setting the stage for another Guiliani down the road. That city is going to hell between now and then, though.

Considering there is a shortage of lawyers in general, 12% is not a bad loss.

Sure, but law firms all over the country are having problems filling positions.

You do what your elected boss tells you to do or you get canned.
The people voted this. Decent staff can't avoid it.

What a idiotic thing to say. Watch 9/11 footage if that’s really the way you feel.

Go ahead and do some reading on what New York City was like in the 1970’s and go ahead and compare that with where it is today.

Hell, NYers were complaining that Rudy cleaned up NYC too much. He took away the grittiness and flavor. Nevermind the fact that property values rocketed and NYC had never prospered as much. NYers are idiots.

Weird, I read the article... the biggest complaint was related to a change in filing discovery.

In 2019, New York adopted discovery requirements that ordered lawyers to turn over large amounts of material to the defense in a short amount of time.
