[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Maybe it was mentioned earlier in the thread but I did a quick check and didn't see it. Sandra Doorley, the District Attorney who charged Jakubonis with second degree assault is a co-chair of Zeldin's campaign. Because the charge was second degree and not first degree, Jakubonis was eligible for release. So, I don't think the repeated attempts to blame Jakubonis' release on progressives are warranted. To the contrary, Zeldin's own campaign co-chair is to blame.

Cashless bail was brought into law January 1, 2020. Wasn't Doorley simply following the law? Didn't she have to? Who wrote the law?[/quote]

If Jakubonis had been charged with first degree assault, he would not have been eligible for release. Zeldin Campaign Co-Chair and District Attorney Doorley inexplicably chose the lesser 2nd degree charge. Because this appears to have been an attempt to inflict serious injury with a weapon, the first degree charge is justified. For that matter, an attempted murder charge would not be out of the question.
