Senator Espaillat on Governor Cuomo’s Appointment of the Attorney General as a Special Prosecutor in Cases of Police-Involved Civilian Deaths

July 8, 2015
"In recent months, communities across the nation have been torn by police-involved incidents of civilian deaths, that have eroded the trust in our criminal justice system," said State Senator Adriano Espaillat, the Chair of the State Senate’s Puerto Rican/ Latino Caucus. "I applaud Governor Cuomo’s appointment of the attorney general as a special prosecutor in cases of police-involved civilian deaths, and look forward to continuing to work with him to find a permanent solution. In the interim, I trust that Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will be a fair special prosecutor”.
