The Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance continues to be an utter tool.
He didn't prosecute Harvey Weinstein in 2015 when he had clear evidence of the movie producer assaulting women.
He didn't prosecute Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump when he had clear evidence of their real estate fraud.
He loves prosecuting small-bore, powerless people but the rich and powerful, under his reign, always skate.
And now he refuses to the review the cases of former prosecutor Linda Fairstein -- or current prosecutor Elizabeth Lederer -- who wrongfully prosecuted and convicted the so-called Central Park Five. This is outrageous -- if they railroaded these kids, who knows how many others these two also wrongfully sent to jail?
Vance isn't up for re-election until 2021 and, if he's smart, he won't run again and instead leave office and go into obscurity. I predict that, if he does run, a lot of people will challenge him -- but hopefully one very strong reformist candidate will emerge and beat him.
Manhattan needs its own Ken Thompson/Eric Delgado/Tiffany Caban like DA ASAP!
By the way, The New York Times and Senator Elizabeth Warren have endorsed Tiffany Caban for DA so, I beg you, people of Queens, please vote for her on June 25!!
