Probably trying to flush too much paperwork at once.

Recent bail reform means NY doesn’t anymore in most minor cases. You’re either freed til trial or not depending on judgment of flight and violence risk. Big republican talking point because a lot of R judges have just been releasing violent repeat offenders to stir the pot. So Dems are trying to reform the reform to be a bit more feasible and Republicans want to return to previous where even petty theft could have you locked up for years waiting for trial if you couldn’t make bail.

Going to prison after 80y of living a full and consequence free life does not make a good point about justice. “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Courts need to move faster and take off the kid gloves.

You’re gonna have to give a source for the victim being satisfied with the outcome.
