Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney criticizes Governor Hochul’s proposed changes to discovery laws, claiming they are a superficial fix that falls short of meaningful reform. As a seasoned prosecutor, Tierney argues that the tweaks do little to ease the burden on prosecutors and crime victims, and will not address the core issues caused by previous criminal justice reforms. He contends that justice will still be hindered by technicalities, and that lawmakers may wrongly believe the problem has been resolved based on these minor adjustments.
