WATCH: NYC Bodega Owner Calls Out Alvin Bragg for Charging Him in Self-Defense Killing
The Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg did not” investigate” his case thoroughly, and police and prosecutors should” be aimed at people committing crime, not an innocent man like me ,” according to Jose Alba, the New York City bodega clerk who was charged with murder last summer for defending himself.
In July 2022, Alba killed a guy who was trying to defend himself after the attacker leaped over the counter and attacked him. Before dropping the crime charges against him, Bragg’s’s work immediately wanted to bring them.
Alba criticized Bragg’s’s office for keeping him on high parole despite letting most violent criminals out on bail under his bail reform plan in a statement that was read aloud by his attorney.
Alba, who spent a year in Rikers Island jail in New York on murder charges, said,” They asked for loan even though so many people are being let come these days.” ” I couldn’t afford it ,” she said.
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Monday in New York City to hear about the city’s skyrocketing crime. The city saw major crimes rise 22 percent last year. New York officials reportedly told Republicans to cancel the hearing, and C-SPAN refused to carry it live.
Republicans are probing Bragg and his office after this month’s arrest of Trump. Bragg is suing Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) to stop his subpoena of a former Bragg staffer who left the office over the Trump case. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on April 4.
