Illuzzi-Orbon, a Republican, had been at the office since 1988, taking only a brief leave in 2015 for an unsuccessful run for District Attorney in Staten Island.Friday was her last day, sources told The Post. She did not return a request for comment.Another veteran prosecutor lost her title and was told she would have to work for someone Bragg brought over from the Legal Aid Society, a source said.
“He wants to get rid of all the senior people who prosecuted high-profile cases and replace them with young inexperienced people who think like him and don’t want to uphold the law,” said a former prosecutor.Mark Bederow, who worked in the Manhattan DA’s office, said some turnover was to be expected with a new boss, but that Bragg’s arrival will “likely” lead to more departures since “It appears to be such a cultural and radical shift in policy.
“I would anticipate that many people within the office who have been there for years, who perhaps do not share the same philosophy as the incoming DA, will most likely leave,” he said. “I would expect that the incoming classes of DAs in the next couple of years will entirely share the policies of Mr. Bragg.”Christopher Sadowski
Bederow said the turnover would lead to “transformation in the Manhattan DA’s office unlike anything anyone has seen for decades.” Hason Correa, said she was worried about what Bragg’s policies — which include not seeking prison sentences of more than 20 years in most cases — would mean for the upcoming trail of her son’s accused killers.
“Alvin Bragg has brought together an exceptional group of highly experienced professionals, including leaders who have worked in this office, led other offices, and bring real life experiences to help reimagine DANY to deliver safety and justice for all,” said Richard Fife, senior advisor to Bragg.
Unfortunately, this is George Sosros’ guy. Doubt that anything will be done.
This guy sucks! Why do you need an ADA if no crime is going to prosecuted
NY got what they voted for!
I understand why they are leaving but this is disastrous for the city. Legal aid lawyers on both sides of the table. So many more people pushed in front of trains, shot at their minimum wage jobs. Bragg is evil
Cool, getting the crappy ones out
