Some elected officials have tied the shootings to not only bail reform, but the recently implemented Raise the Age laws.
Passed on April 10, 2017, the legislation raised the age that a kid that could be tried in court as an adult to 18 years old. Misdemeanor charges go to family court. Nonviolent felonies go to a newly established youth section of criminal court.
“The shooter had a history with guns and gangs going back to the age of 12, which is sadly too often the reality,” said Langworthy. “Albany Democrats have focused all of their energy on making it easier to commit crimes without any regard for the innocent lives being destroyed they are responsible for. This public safety nightmare they created, and they must be held accountable in the voting booth this November.
According to the new budget, courts will also be required to provide referrals to programs and services to juveniles who are being released. Former New York State Assembly Member and Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Michael Blake said that he was opposed to any changes that were based on emotion and not numbers.
