\n The buck continues to stop everywhere but on Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner once again attacked the messenger Thursday rather than address a new Post article that found firearms cases are going through the criminal justice system at the same rate as last year \u2014 refuting his claims that a coronavirus-related court shutdown is most responsible for this summer\u2019s surge in shootings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not seen The Post article and I don\u2019t always get accuracy from that publication,\u201d de Blasio sniffed during a virtual City Hall press briefing when asked about the damning piece by a Wall Street Journal reporter.<\/p>\n

In December 2019, there were 2,285 open gun cases in Gotham with 13 percent of suspects awaiting trial, according to the Post analysis based on NYPD and court data. In July 2020, the courts had 2,181 open firearms cases and 10 percent in lockup \u2014 or 104 fewer pending gun cases, the data shows.<\/p>\n

There were also more gun and murder arraignments from April to June compared to October through December last year, with 819 over the three-month period this year compared to 642 last year, court data shows.<\/p>\n

De Blasio tried to discredit those numbers \u2014 before realizing they came from his own police department.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone can try and manipulate a statistic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When the Journal reporter pointed out the data was from the NYPD, de Blasio refused to back down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a publication that historically has provided inaccurate information. It may be accurate statistics in this case, but I\u2019m just not going to be gentle about the point that when there is a history of inaccuracy and an axe to grind it\u2019s worth saying,\u201d de Blasio fumed at The Post, rather than addressing the issue at hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no one claiming the court system is functioning as normal. There\u2019s just no one doing it,\u201d de Blasio flailed.<\/p>\n

While the state courts suspended grand juries and jury trials during the COVID-19 crisis because of social<\/a> distancing regulations, judges continued to arraign<\/span> defendants, hold hearings, and conference cases, according to a spokesman for the Office of Court Administration.<\/p>\n

Both public defenders and the city\u2019s five district attorneys agree that there\u2019s been no slowdown in the prosecution of violent crimes.<\/p>\n

So far de Blasio has not provided any evidence linking the city\u2019s rising crime to a dysfunctional court system<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll get you how many fewer cases and trials are happ<\/a>ening,\u201d he pledged Thursday. \u201cIt is just self evident the court system is not up and running the way it would normally be at this point of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday when asked about a Gotham Gazette article titled, \u201cLittle Support for De Blasio\u2019s Claim that Court Shutdown is Driving Gun Violence Surge,\u201d the mayor had a different kind of response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not seen the article. I\u2019ll make sure that my team looks at it carefully,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

The anti-Post rant came a day after the paper called into question whether the mayor simply has a different reality of what New York City and its citizens experience on a daily basis.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
