It\u2019s the difference between what a politician will only talk about and a turnaround expert will actually accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, I will amend discovery statutes to give prosecutors more time to present material evidence and prevent criminals from walking away on technicalities. I will also reverse the supposed \u201creforms\u201d to our parole and family-court systems that have recklessly released repeat offenders or those accused or convicted of violent crimes back into our communities.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Mendez, a 17-year-old Bronx gang member, might be the latest poster child for these problems with the system. He allegedly killed an innocent man after he was released from jail as a \u201cyouthful offender\u201d \u2014 and was set free again this week when his indictment was dismissed, likely due to a technicality.<\/p>\n<p>Reversing the damage will take skill, creativity and guts. That\u2019s why New York needs a leader, not a politician, who will truly fix the problem and not just repeat easy soundbites or deny the problem altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Ideologues, special-interest groups and politicians more interested in grandstanding than solving problems have had a long enough run in the halls of power at the expense of our safety and peace of mind.
