Carolyn Maloney, head of the Home Oversight Committee, advised CNN that her opponent in New York’s twelfth congressional district, Jerrold Nadler, was “half-dead,” most likely senile, and unlikely to finish his subsequent time period in Washington. Allies of the judiciary chair, Jerrold Nadler, described Maloney as “kooky” and “not fairly sober.” Ultimately, Nadler’s political profession was unaffected. When the election was known as, he had 56% of the vote to Maloney’s 24%, with over 90% of the ends in. Suraj Pate...

A case is retried after years of investigation by a New York investigator

NEW YORK (Reuters) – During the brutal years when homicides were at their pinnacle in New York City, Detective Louis Scarcella established a reputation for solving cases. He was a retired investigator who has openly lied to suspects to obtain information. He used to smoke cigars and run marathons. In the 1980s, and 1990s, he received confessions after confession. Prosecutors obtained conviction after conviction after conviction. Over 20 murder and other convictions were overturned over the past nine years, after Scarcella, who was accused by defendants of scarcella, coerced or forced false confessions. Scarcella also denied that Scarcella forged witness identifications. The majority of those convictions were reversed by the same prosecutor who secured them. The Brooklyn district attorney supported many of the detective’s cases, despite this. Prosecutors will retry one of the long-ago cases. “This defendant remains guilty,” Chow Yun Xie, the prosecutor, declared during the ret...

More greenery is needed in NYC’s parks

Image
350 New Yorkers are killed each year by extreme heat. A new estimate by the city comptroller suggests that the number of heat-related deaths in New York City could rise to 3,000 over the next 60 year if extreme weather conditions become more frequent and more severe. New Yorkers are still recovering from the second heatwave lasting for more than a week. Now is the time to consider how prepared we are for climate change and what municipal authorities might do to help us better position our neighborhoods for the future. It is easy and inexpensive to invest in green infrastructure and parks to strengthen neighborhoods against the heat waves. We know that extreme heat is a problem that affects disproportionately Black and Latino New Yorkers. A history of underinvestment has made neighborhoods of color more vulnerable to heat waves. It also limits the amount of green space and tree canopy that is crucial to lowering heat index. Aaron Matta (10 years old) of Canarsie cools off in th...

Sanctuary city policies in New York and Washington, DC are coming back to haunt them amid a rivalry with Texas and Arizona

Image
Texas began sending migrants to Washington, D.C. in April. New York City and Washington, D.C. are at odds with Arizona and Texas governors over the busing of migrants into their cities by border states. Their sanctuary city laws are currently being discussed again, with Republican governors citing liberal policies to justify the buses. Thousands of migrants have been transported from Texas and Arizona to the two Democratic-controlled cities, both of which have frequently declared and reiterated their commitment to shielding illegal immigrants from deportation and making their states hospitable havens. These are states or cities that prohibit local law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities. This will be a common goal of governments and towns that want to abolish any distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Muriel Bowser D.C. Mayor reiterated the city’s status following 2016 elections, saying that “we celebrate diversity and appreciate every D...
