I received the office-wide training for the new bail laws in 2019. Some of my clients got out of jail at the end of 2019 because judges were calendaring cases and releasing pre-trial detainees who would be eligible come Jan. 1, 2020. Otherwise the crush of defendants entitled to release when the law kicked in would have overwhelmed their calendars.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Hochul is unlikely to follow in \u00adDeSantis\u2019 footsteps and recall prosecutors like Bragg who have no interest in using their office to arrest, charge and prosecute the small minority of New Yorkers who commit the vast amount of crime in our city.<\/p>\n<p>Nor will city politicians like Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Comptroller Brad Lander, both with aspirations to higher office, support Adams in his quest to change the laws. Williams and Lander both have private security details but repeatedly call to replace school-safety agents with social workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecurity for me but not for thee\u201d is the recurring mantra.<\/p>\n<p>Florida\u2019s governor is not alone. The voters in San Francisco did the same thing when they recalled \u201cprogressive\u201d DA Chesa Boudin. City residents everywhere want prosecutors to prosecute criminals and help restore law and order to our cities. New Yorkers deserve no less. Bragg has made it very clear he will not do his job. We need a governor who will insist that the Manhattan DA does or will remove him from \u00adoffice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Maud Maron is a candidate for \u00adCongress in New York\u2019s 10th District and a former public defender with the Legal Aid \u00adSociety.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
