Newly-Elected District Attorney Changes Rules for Who Can Go to Prison
Newly-elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced there will be no prison time in any case unless the defendant is found guilty of murder, other violent felonies, sex offenses, or major white collar crimes.
Bragg sent a memo to “all staff” Monday with new changes to the district attorney’s office, according to the memo.
This seems like a big deal. Newly elected Manhattan DA Bragg promises no prison time for any sentence except for murder and some violent felonies (plus white collar and government malfeasance). This is after trial and conviction. https://t.co/QgrNTFMahG pic.twitter.com/bqLuRK6CV3

“The Office will not seek a carceral sentence other than for homicide or other cases involving death of a victim, a class B violent felony … domestic violence felonies, sex offenses … public corruption … or major economic crimes,” the memo reads.
Charges that will also not be prosecuted include marijuana possession, trespass, resisting arrest, prostitution, and “obscenity” related charges, according to the memo. (Read more from “Newly-Elected District Attorney Changes Rules for Who Can Go to Prison” HERE)
