At 6:30 pm, on Valentine’s Day, prosecutors tell Eric Adams “Nolle Prosequi” — we do not wish to prosecute.
Breaking: DOJ seeks dismissal of charges against Mayor Eric Adams. Signed by Dep AG Emil Bove himself and DOJ’s Antoinette Bacon & Ed Sullivan. @Law360
One of the DOJ officials who signed the motion to dismiss Adams’ indictment is former @NDNYnews’ interim US Atty Antoinette Bacon.
Bravo to the career prosecutors of the @SDNYnews for standing by their principles, their integrity, and most importantly the rule of law. Politics has no place in prosecution. May the SDNY's tradition of independence continue, and may more folks follow their example.

Eric Adams line prosecutor Hagan Scotten, submitting his resignation rather than filing "dismissal-with-leverage" motion:
"I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

This is an incredible resignation letter from SDNY prosecutor Hagan Scotten. It’s the type of thing you show your kids as an example of how to be.

Fiery resignation letter from SDNY prosecutor on Eric Adams’ case:
“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion,” AUSA Hagan Scotten writes.
“But it was never going to be me.”

For the folks inquiring if I'll make another run at Albany DA - I appreciate the support and reaching out.
I'm focused on my amazing wife and supporting her career at the moment. And that's what's most important to me presently. Happy Valentine's Day!

One of the best public defenders & most joyous Lark St resident passed away on June 1.
Don was a fighter and a great friend and had the most amazing laugh. I am completely broken by his passing and hope to keep his legacy alive in tenacious defense work.

This is how we should remember Tyre Nichols. As we seek justice for his brutal death, the heartfelt words of his family members will drive us forward and be a CONSTANT reminder of why we have to prevent this from ever happening again. #CallOutTheCulture

Passing #CleanSlateNY is long overdue. It would give New Yorkers with convictions access to jobs, housing, and education, as well as the chance to contribute to their communities.
Clean Slate can't wait.
STARTING NOW: We are rallying here to DEMAND #CleanSlateNY. All of us deserve housing, jobs, and education. This is our time. For all 2.3 million of us.
