NYC Prosecutors Flee in Droves Amid Soft-on-Crime Policies, Burdensome State Reforms

Hundreds of prosecutors in New York City are quitting the district attorneys’ offices amid controversial criminal justice reforms.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office this year has hemorrhaged 65 assistant district attorneys, which is about 12% of the staff.

Bragg released a memo on his third day in office, ordering prosecutors not to seek prison sentences for a number of crimes and to downgrade charges – including for robberies and commercial burglaries.
