![]() “Safety should be defined as the ability to live, to live without fear and be provided for,” she said. On the other hand, she says she wants to ramp up prosecuting some offenses, including labor and environmental crimes and violations of labor rights, in the name of broadening what is seen as a threat to public safety. “Public health problems like substance use disorder, should be addressed in public health sectors and not within the criminal legal system,” she said. She vows to outright decline to prosecute many misdemeanor and low-level felonies including sex work, as well as drug possession and low-level drug sales. Orlins, like some of her opponents, is also making the case for significantly downsizing the scope of prosecution-the vast majority of current cases, she says, involve things that the criminal legal system should not be concerned with. She laid out why she would stop seeking cash bail and only seek pretrial detention in “extreme circumstances.” Orlins said she would not seek tougher sentences against people who refuse to plead guilty, with an eye to ending the practice of incentivizing defendants to take a plea offer. “They’re more likely to have money bail set on them pretrial, more likely to receive higher plea offers that result in incarceration, more likely to be charged with drug possession or some of these low-level offenses.” “As a public defender, I have seen the way that my clients who are predominantly Black and brown people are treated by the criminal legal system,” she said. But Orlins notes that she is the only candidate with a background as a public defender, so she has spent her “entire career going up against the Manhattan DA’s office.” The crowded field includes other candidates who have never worked as prosecutors, namely civil rights attorney Tahanie Aboushi and Assemblymember Dan Quart. ![]() Orlins is making the case that voters need to elect someone who has never been part of what she called the “prosecutorial-industrial complex” to overhaul this system. “This is the system working as designed,” Eliza Orlins, a career public defender who is running for DA in Manhattan, told The Appeal: Political Report about Franco in a Q&A. And when the actions of line prosecutors come under scrutiny, their bosses tend to fight oversight or isolate the allegations. The weight of an officer’s testimony can pressure defendants into taking a prosecutor’s deal rather than challenging the officer at trial. Most of his cases that are being vacated ended in guilty pleas. Franco’s own history shows what prosecutors have to gain from this. The Brooklyn DA had made a similar move a week earlier.īut these rare announcements-targeting one police officer who left behind such an explosive trail-cannot conceal the serial pattern of New York DAs depending on officers they already know to be unreliable in order to keep locking people away, as The Appeal and other outlets have long documented. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said on Thursday that he would seek to vacate 100 convictions that were obtained via the work of NYPD officer Joseph Franco, who is indicted for perjury and falsifying testimony.
