Lantry has dismissed felony charges against \u200dtwo residents\u200c who were accused of purchasing\u200d fake COVID-19 vaccine cards. This decision bypassed Manhattan\u200d District Attorney\u2063 Alvin Bragg, who had initially charged the individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The accused individuals, identified only as J.O. \u200cand\u2062 R.V.,\u200c allegedly obtained \u2064the counterfeit vaccine cards from a stripper in New \u2062Jersey in an attempt to evade New York City&#8217;s vaccine mandate. Out of approximately \u2063100 people who purchased the fake cards from the same\u2063 source, Bragg selected 16 individuals and charged them with felony criminal possession of a forged \u2062instrument.<\/p>\n<p>While 14 of the 16 individuals chose to plead guilty to lesser charges, J.O. and R.V. decided to fight the charges and requested their cases to\u200b be dismissed. This led to \u2063a legal battle between Bragg and the defendants, ultimately\u200d resulting in the case being brought before Justice Lantry.<\/p>\n<p>However, Justice Lantry pushed back against Bragg&#8217;s prosecution, highlighting the Manhattan DA&#8217;s office&#8217;s tendency to dismiss more serious charges or entire indictments on a regular \u200dbasis. Lantry pointed out that Bragg&#8217;s office often seeks to dismiss charges related to sexual assaults, drug sales, robbery, burglary, and other violent and non-violent felony offenses, even after the 45-day period for dismissal has expired.<\/p>\n<p>Following the dismissal\u2063 of the charges, critics took to social media to \u200dexpress their dissatisfaction with Bragg&#8217;s handling \u200cof \u2062the case. Radio host Buck Sexton criticized Bragg&#8217;s leniency towards criminals while punishing those who refuse to comply with vaccine \u2063card regulations. Monica Crowley also criticized Bragg, accusing him of prioritizing prosecuting individuals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-warns-americans-who-use-fake-vaccine-passports-may-be-breaking-the-law\/\" title=\"FBI Warns Americans Who Use Fake Vaccine Passports \u2018May Be Breaking The Law\u2019\">fake vaccine cards<\/a> \u200bover more serious offenders.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In Bragg\u2019s version of \u200cAmerica, hoodlums who steal rape and murder deserve the most leniency possible, but people who refused to go \u200dalong with the moronic vaxx card tyranny deserve to have their lives\u2062 ruined <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PqMC59HL65\">https:\/\/t.co\/PqMC59HL65<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuckSexton\/status\/1754279418401276171?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 4, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSoros DA Alvin Bragg is prosecuting\u200c people for having fake vax cards \u2013 \u20623 years after the fact \u2013 while letting killers, rapists, drug dealers &#038; illegal alien invaders who assault cops WALK FREE.

Moreover,\u2063 Lantry emphasized the need for evidence beyond \u200ba reasonable doubt in criminal cases, and noted that the \u200bprosecution had not met this\u2064 standard\u200b in the present case.<\/p>\n<p>This ruling \u2063has sparked controversy \u2062and \u2064raised \u2063concerns about the \u2062enforcement\u200c of vaccine mandates and the use \u2063of forged documents to evade them.\u2062 The \u200dCOVID-19 \u2063pandemic \u200bhas been ravaging communities worldwide, and vaccine\u200d mandates \u200bhave been implemented as \u2064a means to curb the \u2064spread\u2063 of the virus. The use \u200dof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-court-shuts-down-womans-fake-vaccine-card-operation\/\" title=\"Federal Court Shuts Down Woman\u2019s Fake Vaccine Card Operation\">fake vaccine cards undermines<\/a> these\u200d efforts and puts\u2064 public health \u2064at risk.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for \u2062authorities to take such cases\u2063 seriously, \u2063as they \u200dnot only compromise public \u2063health but also \u2063undermine public trust in these mandates. Justice Lantry&#8217;s decision, \u200dwhile legally sound, may\u200b send a message that such actions\u2064 will not be met with severe\u200c consequences, potentially encouraging others to indulge in \u2064similar activities.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2063response to the dismissal, Manhattan District\u200c Attorney Alvin Bragg has\u200d expressed his disappointment and \u2062has vowed to continue\u2063 pursuing cases involving\u200c fake vaccine cards. He has promised to review and strengthen the charges\u200b against the remaining individuals who \u200cpurchased the counterfeit \u2062cards.<\/p>\n<p>It \u2062remains \u2064to be seen how \u2062this decision\u2063 will impact future cases\u200b related to fake vaccine cards. While Justice Lantry&#8217;s ruling sets a \u2064precedent, it is crucial to ensure that individuals \u2062attempting \u2062to\u200d evade \u200cvaccine mandates are held accountable for \u200dtheir \u200dactions. This can be achieved \u200cthrough \u2062comprehensive investigations, stronger charges, and robust prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2064the\u200c dismissal\u200c of charges against residents\u2062 with\u200c fake vaccine cards \u2062by New\u200d York State Supreme Court Justice Brandon T. Lantry has raised concerns about \u2062the enforcement\u2064 of vaccine mandates and \u2063the use of forged documents. Although Justice\u200c Lantry&#8217;s decision may be legally justified,\u2064 it is\u2063 essential to send a clear message that \u2064such \u2062actions have\u200d consequences, both in terms of public health and the rule of law. Authorities and prosecutors\u200c must \u200bbe diligent in pursuing cases involving fake\u200b vaccine cards, ensuring the \u200dintegrity of vaccine mandates and\u200d public health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York State Supreme Court Justice Brandon T.
