Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon said a new change in the state’s controversial criminal justice reforms to allow bail on some cases falls short of addressing spiking crime.
reforms is nothing more than “a band-aid on a gaping wound,” Staten Island’s top prosecutor said Sunday.
“So the commercial burglar, who’s really terrorizing New York City now, or the drug dealer or the person who has a gun history, a history of violence, has a history of violating orders of protection, they will still not be bail eligible,” McMahon continued. The $229 billion spending package eliminates the “least restrictive” clause in the law. But judges are still prohibited from setting bail in most cases.

N. Carolina justices sweep away district, voter ID rulingsNorth Carolina’s state Supreme Court has thrown out previous rulings that declared illegal both redistricting maps for excessive partisanship and a photo voter identification law for being infected with racial bias. Friday's opinions come less than four months since a new Republican majority on the court took their seats.
