No matter what your views are on Israel & Palestine, you should be terrified of a country incarcerating its residents for exercising free speech.

Mr. Khalil is not accused of violating any law. He is illegally detained by the Trump Administration. He must be released.

Hochul Wants to Revisit Another Criminal Justice Reform: State of the… After years of targeting bail, the governor is proposing changes to New York’s 2019 discovery reform law.

Hochul is going after criminal justice reforms... again.

After years of attacking bail reform, she's targeting the process by which prosecutors must share evidence.

Some worry she's trying to return NY to the days where defendants had to make decisions "blindfolded."

So happy that justice is blind and no one is above the law! Looking forward to all my clients resolving their 34-count indictments with unconditional discharge sentences.

Gov. Hochul vetoes bill to restore jury rights for people convicted of felonies The governor's move frustrated reform advocates who argued the bill would have reduced bias in the criminal justice system.

A brutal and cowardly decision by Governor Hochul that will perpetuate racial inequity in NY’s criminal legal system.

26 other states have removed lifetime jury service bans for those with felony convictions, including Louisiana & Florida.

Proud to join the Communities Not Cages campaign for our damp but defiant kickoff rally today in Foley Square. NY’s sentencing laws haven't been meaningfully updated in over 50 years. It's time to change that. πŸ’ͺ
