the trespassing charges against 30 of the protesters who invaded a building at Columbia University. His team also tried to drop charges against 14 more so long as they avoided being arrested for the next six months, but they turned down the deal. That means that for the entire protest during which people illegally occupied a university building and barricaded themselves inside, Bragg has determined just one person is worth actually charging with a crime.
Yes, all the people getting off scot-free, thanks to Bragg’s office, and the ones he wanted to drop charges against with a deal, were arrested inside the building,. At the very least, you would think that means there is enough evidence for a single trespassing charge to stick, wouldn’t you?But Bragg is pro-criminal, to the point that one of his prosecutors argued the defendants should not face criminal penalties because they have no track record.
Bragg is a political activist who imposes his ideology and partisanship on the justice system he is supposed to oversee. Rather than prosecute criminals and keep New York residents safe, Bragg wants to keep as many actual criminals out of jail as possible and prosecute his party’s political opponents instead. His first priority in his prosecutorial decisions is what he can do to help criminals stay free, and this is yet another example of what that looks like.
