Embattled Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg backpedals on controversial soft-on-crime policies
Fox News
Beleaguered Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has made a stunning about face – walking back his soft-on-crime agenda that was memorialized in a controversial memo issued when he took office in January.
The memo released on Bragg's third day in office, ordered prosecutors not to seek prison sentences for a slew of crimes and to downgrade charges – including for robberies and commercial burglaries.
It specifically stated that a robbery should be downgraded to petit larceny if the brandishing of the weapon "does not create a genuine risk of physical harm."
