Bronx judge RELEASES man, 29, who 'smashed windows of four synagogues'
2021-05-04
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Jordan Burnette faces 42 charges he 'terrorized Riverdale's Jewish community'

  • New York's bail reform dictates that if nobody was hurt in the attacks the suspect should qualify to be released

  • But Bronx Judge Louis Nock classified some of the charges as 'hate crimes' and imposed $20,000 bail on the 29-year-old suspect

  • But just hours later, Judge Tara Collins granted Burnette supervised release

  • It is not clear why Burnette was called back to court and released Sunday night

  • Four synagogues in the Riverdale district of the Bronx were allegedly targeted by the rock-hurling suspect who destroyed windows and doors

  • The targeting of Jewish religious centers comes at a time when anti-Semitic hate crimes are at their highest levels in 40 years
