Donate NowA New York City man accused of strangling his 15-year-old stepson to death was arrested on state parole violations on Thursday, a day after a Bronx judge set him free without bail.
Hochul, a Democrat, took the unusual step of announcing Minter’s arrest through an official statement issued by her office. It comes as she continues to push for changes to the state’s bail laws, which have come under constant criticism from police and moderate-to-conservative politicians since they were updated in 2019.. “Earlier today, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision issued a warrant for Tyresse Minter, and he is now in custody.
In her statement, Hochul also said her office would “continue working closely with the Bronx district attorney’s office throughout this process as it prosecutes the charges.”, defendants can only be held on cash bail for certain charges — generally violent felonies and misdemeanors. But even in those cases, which include homicide and manslaughter, judges are required to impose the “least restrictive means” to ensure a defendant returns to court.
She has not yet been able to reach consensus with the Legislature’s Democratic majorities, who say the state’s 2019 bail reforms were an important tool to ensure the justice system isn’t criminalizing poverty.
