made the promise <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R7o97Ea96ME\">during an appearance on \u201cThe View,\u201d<\/a> where he was repeatedly pressed on recent high profile cases where repeat offenders were returned to communities only to be quickly rearrested after allegedly committing yet another crime. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appoint criminal court judges and I\u2019m going to be extremely clear: If you don\u2019t understand that my city must be safe, and you can\u2019t get caught up in the politics in this city,\u201d Adams said on the ABC show. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you must make sure that those who pose an imminent threat to our city \u2014 they are not going to be placed back on my streets and back into my community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he had the authority to do that as mayor, Adams doubled down: \u201cThat\u2019s the power of appointing the right judges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As mayor, Adams has the power to appoint judges to city\u2019s family court, small claims civil courts and misdemeanor criminal courts.<\/p>\n<p>The misdemeanor criminal courts also frequently arraigns suspects in felony cases, setting bail and approving other key pre-trial motions. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"952\" height=\"534\"

Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Recently, NYPD officials highlighted the tragic shooting of a 13-year-old school boy in The Bronx, arguing the suspected triggerman should have remained in jail as he awaited trial in a 2019 shooting. <\/p>\n<p>However, records show the suspect made bail before the reforms took effect. And, under the reform, illegal weapons possession remains a crime where judges can set bail. <\/p>\n<p>State lawmakers included the bail overhaul in the state\u2019s mammoth and must-pass budget bills in 2019, ending a years-long fight that gained national prominence after the tragic death of Kalief Browder. <\/p>\n<p>Browder committed suicide after spending three years on Rikers Island \u2014 including two years in solitary confinement \u2014 for allegedly stealing a backpack as a teenager, in a case that was later dismissed by The Bronx district attorney. <\/p>\n<p>Advocates pointed to the case as a powerful example that local prosecutors were using bail requirements to jam poorer New Yorkers into accepting plea deals, while the wealthy could avoid the notorious Rikers Island complex and wait for their trial in the relative comfort of their homes.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
