Human rights activists publicly scolded New York City’s district attorneys at a Tuesday rally in Lower Manhattan, blaming them for a slew of wrongful convictions made in the last half decade.
Members from a coalition of advocacy groups such as Families of Wrongfully Convicted and Vocal NY congregated in front of City Hall on Broadway and Murray Street to demand that incoming Mayor Eric Adams, along with Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and the members of the New York City Council, address the conviction review process.
