Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney blamed bail reform for the release of four violent crime suspects.
“Unfortunately, due to ‘bail reform’ passed by the New York State Legislature in 2019, charges related to mutilating and disposing of a murdered corpse are no longer bailable, meaning prosecutors cannot request bail.” said Tierney.
“This is another absurd result of ‘bail reform’ and the Albany Legislature’s system of substituting their judgment for that of judges and litigants in court,” he added.
Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine called on the Legislature to amend bail reform laws.
“The failure of Albany’s bail law has resulted in people charged with dismembering and disposing of body parts in our communities being released without posting bail.” Romaine said. “This is outrageous and completely unacceptable in a civilized society where our prosecutors are handcuffed and those charged with this heinous crime are ordered released by the state.”
Both victims were from Yonkers.
