A suspect involved in a series of synagogue attacks in Riverdale, Bronx, was released without bail after initially being held on a $20,000 bond. The judge cited New York’s law eliminating cash bail for most arrests, which has sparked debate—supporters say it promotes justice, while law enforcement and some Jewish leaders view it as a safety concern. The suspect, Jordan Burnette, faces multiple hate crime charges for damaging four synagogues. The release has caused distress within the Riverdale Jewish community.
