NYPD Commissioner Sewell calls on Hochul to roll back bail reform as Adams bites tongue
|
[NYPOST] The NYPD’s top cop bucked Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday by again calling for a rollback of bail reform — as Mayor Eric Adams refused to take on his fellow Democrat less than a week before her tight race against challenger Lee Zeldin comes to a head.
During a brief interview, The Post asked Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell whether Hochul needed to go further in allowing judges to lock up dangerous defendants.
"From the very beginning, we have asked for changes to the bail reform law," Sewell said following an unrelated news conference in Manhattan’s Central Park.
"We ask for judges to be able to consider whether the person is a public safety threat before deciding whether to remand, release or set bail."
Sewell added: "I think it’s important we make sure that we look at whether or not the [legal] discovery rules are really keeping the criminal justice system moving in the direction we need it to move in.
"We’ve made that point clear from the very beginning and we hope they’ll consider that in the very near future," she said.
