(1/8/20) Malliotakis: Changes to Cuomo’s Botched Bail Law are Needed

Following the 2020 State of the State, Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis discusses her concerns with the dangerous bail law he signed last year that has released individuals who have confessed to murder, manslaughter and hate crimes.

She says, “Instead of leaving a law in place that puts the public at risk, the governor should halt it, hold public hearings, collect the input of legal experts and law enforcement and replace is with a responsible law that ensures the right to a speedy trial, considers criminal history and dangerousness, restores judicial discretion and protects witnesses.”
