In a significant legal development, seven individuals accused of assaulting police officers in Times Square in January have been arraigned and are now behind bars, marking a culmination of weeks of legal proceedings. The incident, which involved five migrants pleading not guilty to the assault, has sparked nationwide outrage. Among those arraigned, Yohenry Brito, 24, initially required to post a $15,000 bail, was detained on Rikers Island after bail was posted by Rev. Juan Ruiz. Manhattan judges have set bail for the accused, with two, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Kelvin Servita-Arocha, 19, being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without bond. Venezuelan migrant Yorman Reveron is being held on a $100,000 bail. The case has drawn attention to the broader issue of how felony cases are handled in Manhattan, with DA Alvin Bragg reportedly downgrading 60% of felony cases to lesser charges last year.
In EVERY precinct, criminals are emboldened to attack cops. Hendry: “Even the simplest summonses are turning into all-out brawls. Our justice system needs to send a clear message, once and for all — if you assault a police officer, you will stay in jail.” https://t.co/z7urqAjFlg
