Barry Latzer has this article<\/a> with the above title in the National Review<\/em>, regarding the law noted in today’s News Scan.<\/p>\n

2020 is going to be a very good year in New York State \u2014 for criminals. As of January 1, the state\u2019s new criminal-justice reforms took effect, including a law that compels judges to free thousands of arrested defendants, many of whom have committed violent crimes or are serious flight risks. The goal is to reduce incarceration in jails, but the methods are arbitrary and put the public at risk.<\/p>\n

The new law prohibits arraignment judges (the ones that handle an arrested person\u2019s first court appearance) from demanding bail for certain defendants or remanding them to jail. Instead, they must release the defendant on his own recognizance (ROR). This release order supposedly does not apply to violent felony offenders. However, numerous crimes of violence or potential violence are found among the state\u2019s so-called nonviolent felonies, including certain robberies, rapes, and assaults. And judges in New York \u2014 unlike judges in 46 other states \u2014 may not take public safety into account when deciding whether or not to release someone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
