  • The Central Park Jogger Case on December
    ROBERT K. TANENBAUM MY OPINION – A CRITIQUE: The injustice of a rush to judgment – The Central Park Jogger Case On December 19, 2002 a colossal injustice occurred when then Manhattan District Attorney Morgenthau consented to the Central Park jogger five defendants’ motion to vacate their convictions. During the trials of these five defendants, the Manhattan D.A. was well aware and presented evidence to the trial jurors that a sixth unknown assailant participated in the rape of the female jogger. The D.A. revealed at the defendants’ 1990 trials that with respect to the female jogger, semen was recovered at the crime scene not attributable to any of the five defendants, but to an unknown culpable participant. The defendants were also convicted for beating and robbing and attacking some of the eight other innocent defenseless victims during their vicious nighttime rampage through Central Park on April 19, 1989. Thirteen years later, with the statute of limitations having run, convicted and sentenced to serve a life term of imprisonment for rape and murder, the sixth assailant, Matias Reyes, whose DNA was found at the crime scene, has come forward to say he raped the jogger and he did it alone. With no hearing held, no testimony taken, no cross examination, and no corroboration of Reyes’ statement, Manhattan D.A. Morgenthau moved to set aside these jury verdicts. As a further reflection of the Manhattan D.A.’s abrogation of his duties and responsibilities, the vacatur was in violation of established legal precedent. By so acting, the Manhattan

  • Greetings My Name Is Andy King and I Am Running for the New York City Council, District 12
    July 30, 2009 David Yassky 4 Pages Hello. My name is David Yassky and I am running for New York City Comptroller. For the past seven years, I have represented the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods of North Brooklyn in the City Council from Greenpoint to Park Slope. Before that, I worked for Chuck Schumer in Washington and as a budget analyst for Mayor Ed Koch - and also as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer so I know how the private sector works, too. I'm running for Comptroller because in these difficult times, we need to root out waste in every corner of the budget, to demand accountability and results for every dollar we're spending and to do everything we can to get the City economy back on track. We need a progressive fighter who will free up the money to keep police on the July 30, 2009 David Yassky 4 Pages streets and teachers in the classroom and make sure we don't close firehouses and senior centers. That’s just what I've done in the City Council. I found millions of dollars of waste at the Housing Department, I exposed it, did a hearing on it and got it canceled. I passed the False Claims Act to crack down on contractors who defraud the City. And I put the whole City budget online at www . ItsYourMoneyNYC . com because it’s not the government’s money - it’s your money and we need to make sure every penny is spent correctly. As Comptroller, I will be an aggressive watchdog over City budgets.

Bennett Capers* ABSTRACT We have become a surveillance state. Cameras—both those controlled by the state, and those installed by private entities—watch our every move, at least in public. For the most part, courts have deemed this public surveillance to be beyond the purview of the Fourth Amendment, meaning that it goes largely unregulated—a cause for alarm for many civil libertarians. This Article challenges these views and suggests that we must listen to communities in thinking about cameras and other surveillance technologies. For many communities, public surveillance not only has the benefit of deterring crime and aiding in the apprehension of criminals.
