A law has forced prosecutors to drop cases in New York City, which has only added to its crime problem, according to a study.
The issue resulted in suspects being freed without facing consequences, the New York Post reported Thursday:
The rate at which cases were dismissed citywide rose from 44% in 2019 — the year new “discovery” rules were adopted by state lawmakers — to 69% by mid-October 2021, the Manhattan Institute finds in the report, set for release Thursday.
For misdemeanor cases, the increase was even more dramatic, jumping from 49% to 82% during the same period, according to official data cited by the conservative think tank.
