Speaker Carl Heastie's 'mercy' leaves a teen girl dead at hands of another teen
[NYPOST] Angellyh Yambo had just turned 16 when she got caught in gangsta crossfire outside a Bronx high school, torn from this world far too soon. Yet her accused killer, Jeremiah Ryan, might have escaped jail pending trial under New York’s insane laws, merely because he himself is a teen.This is justice according to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and his all-too-many allies in the Legislature. Ryan even had a perfect score to qualify for release, according the city Criminal Justice Agency, because he has no priors. Happily, Judge Vidya Pappachan agreed to hold Ryan, 17, without bail, explaining: "Based on the charges that are before this court," he did "not believe that any monetary bail will be appropriate as the least restrictive condition to ensure the defendant’s return to court." Even then, Pappachan said he’d have to reconsider bail after the discovery phase, where prosecutors must share all the evidence with defense within a couple of weeks.
