Jose Alba joined the families of other crime victims and their supporters Monday in railing against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The group testified at a special congressional “field hearing” at the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, putting Bragg on the hot seat in front of a national audience.The eight people who spoke or provided statements decried Big Apple crime and Bragg’s controversial alleged lax policies, which critics say favor criminals over law and order.
“I was face to face with her boyfriend who seemed ready to kill me,” he said. “He attacked me violently, threw me around the store. The woman stabbed me herself. I truly believe they were there to kill me.”Jennifer Harrison “We have repeat offenders receiving lenient sentences and committing multiple crimes shortly after being released,” Holden said “From the day he took office, it seems Alvin Bragg’s top priority was to keep criminals out of jail and free to roam the streets.”Rebecca Fischer
“The same people are being arrested over and over again for violent crime,” he told the committee. “They need to be held in jail. There has been a reckless disregard for the law that has led to unprecedented gun violence, robberies, car-jacking, home invasions, burglaries, shoplifting and disturbances by the mentally ill.”
