  • Victims of violent crime in Manhattan on Monday cast much of the blame on District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his policies, during a GOP-led House hearing in New York City on the matter.
  • Madeline Brame said Bragg has allowed “all types of criminal elements free to do what they want, when they want, however they want, to whomever they want with no consequences, no deterrence.”
  • Brame’s son, Sgt. Hason Correa, was killed in a 2018 stabbing in Harlem, and Brame argued Bragg botched the prosecution of his attackers.
  • “When Alvin Bragg came into office, he was handed a strong, trial-ready murder case and gang assault case against all four of the [accused], where this brutal savage homicide was captured on video,” she said. “As soon as he took office, the case immediately began to unravel. He dismissed – completely dismissed – gang assault and murder indictments against two of the defendants clearly [seen] on video.”
