NEW YORK (77WABC) — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is about to toss nearly 200 misdemeanor convictions with ties to eight NYPD officers found guilty of crimes linked to those arrests.
Bragg announced in a statement that his office would throw out 188 convictions on the grounds of due process violations. Arrests for the vacated convictions happened between 2001 and 2016.
Bragg’s office is currently reviewing more one thousand cases connected to a list of officers convicted of crimes related to their jobs as police officers. Many of those officers are no longer with the NYPD.
