Gov. Hochul personally orders ARREST of NYC 'gloved beast' sex offender freed after being charged with knocking out diner in shocking attack - leaving victim in coma with a brain bleed
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Bui Van Phu, 55, from the Bronx, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after punching Jesus Cortes, leaving him in a coma, on Friday, August 12

  • But on Thursday, he was allowed to leave Bronx Criminal Court after the DA charged him with assault - a misdemanor which is not eligible for bail

  • Today, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she ordered his arrest after she 'took action in my own hands' once she'd discussed the charges filed by the DA's office

  • The DA's office earlier defended the charges, saying it 'will continue to investigate the alleged attack ... and is obtaining additional evidence'

  • 'As the investigation continues, it will be determined if elevated charges will be brough against the defendant,' the statement said

  • The registered sex offender was convicted in 1995 of sexual abuse and spent six years in prison with lifetime parole

  • Cortes, had to have brain surgery after the attack and is in an induced coma

Could be years.

#2 ........with lifetime parole

Should have been immediately revoked. The DA and his minions are accessories to any subsequent crime.

#6 ^#4

One of my fav films hat couldn't be made today. Bart and The Waco Kid would have to be gay and Lily VonShtup a trans. Guv Leptomaine and Hedley can stay white since they're the bad guys.

#7 She has the ability to remove the DA but won’t. She is trying to mitigate her exposure to the charge of lawlessness without torquing off her base.
