Bragg says he's 'absolutely' considering dropping murder charges against Jose Alba
|
[NYPOST] Embattled Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told a group of bodega owners Tuesday that there is "absolutely" a chance he may drop the murder charge against worker Jose Alba, although he left himself plenty of wiggle room to still continue with the controversial case.
A chance? Somewhat greater than zero but not a likelihood? Golly. | Bragg has been barraged from all sides, including by Mayor Eric Adams, for charging Alba with the rap even though surveillance video clearly shows the Manhattan worker being attacked by an ex-con, who the clerk ended up stabbing in alleged self-defense.
The United Bodegas of America’s closed door-sit-down with Bragg at his Manhattan office was "very, very good," with the DA telling the group that Alba, 61, could see charges against him dropped, said Fernando Mateo, the group’s rep, after the huddle.
"We felt very good because his tone was very soothing. His demeanor was very direct, and he said, ’I don’t understand why people are jumping to conclusions. I have not made a determination. I am investigating,’" Mateo recalled Bragg saying when asked about Alba’s case.
"I asked, ’Do the possibilities exist that you will drop these charges?’ And he said, ’Absolutely.’"
