Top NY judge hands yet another gift to violent criminals at the expense of law-abiding citizens

See more of our coverage in your search results.

New York laws are already badly skewed to keep even violent thugs out of jail and prison, but that’s not good enough for Chief Judge Rowan Wilson and the state’s pro-criminal bench.

On Monday, the courts announced yet another gift to the thugs: Criminal and family-court judges will have to visit a “prison, jail, or other detention facility” at least once a year, starting Jan. 1, 2028.

New York, as usual, will be the only state in the nation with such a wacky, pro-criminal rule.

(It’s also the only state that bans judges from considering the danger a perp poses to the community when weighing whether to release him or her on bail.)

The new rule “keeps judges better connected to what transpires after sentencing,” Wilson preens.

What an insult........
