Manhattan’s New Soros-Backed DA Orders Armed Robberies to Be Charged as Mere Misdemeanors
Alvin Bragg, the new district attorney of Manhattan, New York, announced his office is downgrading charges for many felonies and will seek prison sentences for only a handful of crimes.
Bragg, a Democrat who was elected in November, outlined his policies in a “Day One Letter” sent to all staff on Monday, saying they were “effective immediately.”
“The Office will not prosecute the following charges, unless as part of an accusatory instrument containing at least one felony count,” the letter read.
The offenses that no longer will be prosecuted include marijuana misdemeanors, prostitution, resisting arrest, fare dodging and trespassing.
Bragg also said his office would “not seek a carceral sentence” except for homicides,
