During a press conference Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell called for changes to the bail system to make it easier to keep repeat offenders behind bars.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is not attacking some of the needed reforms that we have,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThis is about a small number of people that are taking advantage of the existing laws to endanger our city.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to officials, the number of individuals arrested three or more times in a calendar year for crimes such as robbery, burglary and grand larceny has increased through the first six months of 2022. Sewell said repeat offenders have been shown their criminal behavior has no consequences as they\u2019ve been through the system on several occasions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe are seeing tragedies every day on the streets of this city we love and serve,\u201d voiced Sewell. \u201cPeople are suffering and more and more are unnecessarily becoming victims. Victims of repeat offenders who have shown that their criminal behavior is given no consequences.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Join me and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYPDPC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYPDPC<\/a> Sewell at 1 Police Plaza for an announcement. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2P8wBhyJ0d\">https:\/\/t.co\/2P8wBhyJ0d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mayor Eric Adams (@NYCMayor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYCMayor\/status\/1554889713118580741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 gaccNQ body-paragraph\">Bail reform advocates are not ready to abandon their cause and maintain that the changes that took effect in 2020 should stay on the books.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 gaccNQ body-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cLet\u2019s not tell New Yorkers all we\u2019ve got to do is to lock up the black and brown people who are the children of the parents we locked up 20 years ago,\u201d Public Advocate Jumaane Williams stated. \u201cThat\u2019s not leadership and on top of that you want to lock them up on Riker\u2019s Island, where people are dying on a regular basis waiting for their trial.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 gaccNQ body-paragraph\">Adams, Sewell and law enforcement officials are frustrated by the laws and claimed suspects like Gooding prove their point about the need to fix bail reform. Gooding, 53, who\u2019s also known as Jamel White, served prison time for robbery and burglary convictions in Brooklyn, said police sources. His career of 101 arrests includes 88 busts since the bail laws took effect. Police sources said Gooding has 15 criminal convictions, including two for violent felonies, one for a non-violent felony and 10 for misdemeanors. Sources said Gooding has skipped court hearings at least 14 times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 gaccNQ body-paragraph\">Those on the NYPD\u2019s top 10 recidivist list have between them been arrested 485 times since the bail reform laws took effect. Those 485 arrests amount to 75 percent of the suspects total histories of 642 arrests, the police numbers show. Officials also argued that judges must be allowed to consider the public safety threat a suspect poses when determining if they will be held in pre-trial custody.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/legendary-dodgers-announcer-vin-scully-passes-away-at-94\/\">Legendary Dodgers Announcer Vin Scully Passes Away At 94<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks during a news conference about recent shootings of homeless people in both New York and Washington, at the John A.
