The state governor, Cathy Hutchoul, said on Monday, raising the Crusader campaign to reform the arduous states associated with evidence.
Hochol blamed the laws – which require prosecutors to hand over a set of evidence of discovery quickly to the defense lawyer, or the case was rejected – for a decrease in the convictions of domestic violence.
These condemnations amounted to 31 % when laws were issued in 2019, but they now stand by 6 % – depriving safety and justice victims.
“We can no longer turn off their cries for help,” she said after a round table in Albani.
“The choice between fair and rapid experiences, which are important goals, but also leaving the dangerous aggressors of the hook, is a wrong choice,” said Hochol. “We must do both.”
At that time, my God. Andrew Como, who is now nominating the position of mayor of New York City, has signed amendments to state discovery practices – designed to accelerate the court’s procedures so that the defendants, such as Kalief Browder, are not affected by the bars awaiting trial.
However, representatives of the prosecution argued that the reforms led to the criminal dismissal in New York City, which leaks from 41 % to 62 %.
Even Manhattan's Left County Lawyer Alvin Prague has fluctuated the laws of discovery.
He said that the laws recently left the accused domestic abuser – who was claiming to have struck his girlfriend and strip her clothes in front of his friends – to walk in a technical state.
Prague said: “This horrific example is to clarify a much wider problem as the survivors are deprived of justice and protection orders, which makes them vulnerable to their attackers.”
Hochul and all the Five Big Apple County attorneys are pressured for changes in the laws of discovery in the next country's budget.
Joyce Miller, who runs the Office of Home Violence at the Witchester County Lawyer's office, narrated on Monday a case that was rejected after the prosecutors found an audio post between the victim and her alleged tired.
Miller said the audio mail was discovered on the eve of the trial and the hearts of the general prosecutors immediately to the defense lawyer.
But she said that the lawyers were able to argue successfully under the law that the case should be rejected on the technology.
Miller said: “It is very traumatized because this victim has lost protection,” Miller said. “She lost her faith in the criminal justice system, which is exactly that needs this type of reform.”
Meanwhile, the Legal Assistance Association argued that Hochul attracts flagrant lies in pushing them.
The lawyers have claimed with the group the criminal dismissal to the five town to the same way since the reforms. They comment on New York police officers who have failed to provide evidence on time.
“There is no evidence that thousands of cases of domestic violence have been rejected based on” artistic techniques, “says a statement from the group.” The ruler relies on the stories chosen by Cherry, without documents in which the New York police failed to comply with the discovery law. Using these tales and survivors of domestic violence to justify the laws of retreat that protect basic integrity also ignores the fact that many survivors criminalize themselves, in the face of shipments, need to reach evidence against them. “
