Knife-wielding mugger who committed three crimes in 36 hours bragged to cops he'd be freed each time because of NYC's woke cash bail law
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Agustin Garcia, 63, was arrested three times for robbery - once at knife point - within a 36-hour time span in New York City

  • He was released without bail and reportedly bragged to cops that he knew he'd be released because he didn't have a prior record

  • He was reportedly arrested for stealing beer, and robbed a woman at knifepoint when released, only to be jailed and let go once again

  • The district attorney's office said he was later jailed for stealing a phone

  • Under former governor Andrew Cuomo's controversial reform laws passed last year, bail can no longer be imposed on misdemeanors and non-violent felonies

  • A recent change to the law allowed judges to now set bail in misdemeanor cases, if the defendant has an open case involving harm to another person
