DA Bragg’s Colleagues Brag About “Dismantling Criminal Justice System”
A viral video has emerged where Alvin Bragg’s colleagues discuss their efforts to dismantle the criminal legal system and refuse to prosecute cases. Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney recently charged President Donald Trump in New York court, was scheduled to attend the panel. The conversation took place at a panel discussion hosted by Harvard Law School in late October, organized by Fair and Just Prosecution.

State’s Attorney Sarah George of Crittenden County, Vermont, who was on the panel, talked about replacing prosecutors with public defenders as a way to dismantle the legal system. On the other hand, Eric Gonzalez, Bragg’s Brooklyn counterpart, explained the changes he made while serving as a district attorney.
Gonzalez highlighted that he rescinded all the letters sent to the parole board opposing parole and sued ICE. Also, he talked about his effort to change policies concerning the maximum period of parole and bail requests.
During Bragg’s time in New York City, felony and misdemeanor cases resulting in convictions dropped from 68 percent to 51 percent and 53 percent to 28 percent, respectively. This soft-on-crime approach of Bragg and his colleagues has faced criticism from several quarters, including New York City Mayor, Eric Adams.
The panel was hosted by Harvard Law School and sponsored by the Bernard Koteen Office of Public Interest Advising and Fair and Just Prosecution, which is a project by the Tides Center. George Soros has funded the Tides Center.
