The times have been tough for Mr. Bragg lately, but I want to give him some credit. As he clumsily strikes out at a former U.S. president, he reminds us all of a glaring defect in America’s judicial system: selective and abusive prosecutions. Other aspects of the judicial system are far from perfect. There are judges who are biased and poorly trained, and there are defendants who suffer with low-quality defense attorneys. But selective prosecution is where the inequities are greatest. Every day in America, prosecutors decide to let some criminals go free, while persecuting others for the exact same offenses.
Thank you, Alvin Bragg!
