Judge dismisses Alvin Bragg’s felony case against vax card forgers, says DA has let criminals off for much less<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Bragg and his office “move to dismiss significantly more serious counts or entire indictments,” the judge wrote.<\/p>\n

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg attempted to charge two New York residents with felonies for having false vaccine passports while he has let off others charged with far worse crimes scot-free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

New York State Supreme Court Justice Brendan T. Lantry dismissed the felony charges against the residents, identified as J.O. and R.V. in the decision, who had bought the forged vax passports, usurping Bragg’s decision.<\/p>\n

The judge said the two were among 16 others that Bragg had “cherry-picked” to prosecute, according to the case.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lantry slammed Bragg in the decision decided at the New York Supreme Court on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n

The judge wrote in the opinion, “Clearly, Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree (Penal Law \u00a7 170.25) is not among the most serious crimes in the New York Penal Law, nor are the factual allegations against Defendants R.V. and J.O. particularly serious in nature.”<\/p>\n

“Moreover, the factual allegations \u2014 that the Defendants purchased fake COVID-19 vaccination cards so that they could provide same to their employer (R.V.) and school (J.O.) \u2014 do not rise to the level of the majority of the crimes adjudicated in Supreme Court, New York County, namely homicide, sexual assault, drug sale, robbery, burglary, and other violent and non-violent serious felony offenses,” Lantry continued.<\/p>\n

The judge expanded on the decision that Bragg and his office almost daily “move to dismiss significantly more serious counts or entire indictments” and avoid harsher penalties for far more violent and convicted felons. Bragg also recently allowed a group of all but a single illegal immigrant to be\u00a0released<\/a>\u00a0without bail after they allegedly beat up two NYPD officers. He later\u00a0defended<\/a>\u00a0this saying that the video evidence was not enough to hold the foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

NYC government officials, including Bragg, have faced increasing scrutiny over the government’s lackluster effort to\u00a0control crime<\/a>\u00a0in the city as well as the\u00a0high influx<\/a>\u00a0of illegal immigrants.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
