The NYPD said New York City's murder rate jumped dramatically in July. Commissioner Keechant Sewell is once again pleading for bail reform from state lawmakers. MKramerTV reports.
- popping up all over the city, the NYPD disclosed that the hot days of summer last month saw an increase in murders and all kinds of other crimes:Grand larceny was up more than 40 percent.Felony assault was up almost 18 percent.
Sewell said the numbers highlight the need to end gun violence and for Albany to end the perception among criminals that there are no consequences for violent crimes. "When violent criminals are willing to carry illegal guns on our streets and brazenly shoot at innocent people, they must face real consequences," Sewell said."And when rampant, revolving-door recidivism erodes the public's trust in the criminal justice system, we must make efforts to refocus that system on what matters most: the victims."
Sewell's call for action was echoed by Zeldin, who has started a petition drive to get New Yorkers to sound off on the need to end cashless bail. "I don't just say we should repeal cashless bail and then that's the end of it. Judges should have discretion to weigh dangerousness, flight risk, past criminal record, seriousness of the offense, on many more offenses," Zeldin said.
