纽约市的一些罪行在疫情期间没有被起诉

自3月12日纽约市宣布进入紧急状态以来，该市地区检察官决定对500多起案件放弃起诉。这种做法在布鲁克林非常普遍，地区检察官埃里克-冈萨雷斯决定不起诉391起非暴力轻罪案件，并对65起较严重的案件暂缓起诉。纽约警方官员表示，有一些人被控在布鲁克林入室盗窃，案件被推迟起诉期间，再次因类似的指控被捕。冈萨雷斯检察官说，他们做出这样的决定，一是为了限制冠状病毒在城市监狱中的传播，二是由于纽约州刑事法庭的一些日常运营被冻结，如无法凑齐大陪审团所需的人数等。

New York City District attorneys decided not to prosecute more than 500 cases since March 12 when the Mayor declared a state of emergency. Such practice is very common in Brooklyn, where District Attorney Eric Gonzalez decided not to prosecute 391 arrests for nonviolent misdemeanor charges and deferred prosecution for 65 cases of more serious charges. NYPD officials said there were individuals charged with felony burglaries of businesses in Brooklyn had their cases deferred and then were arrested again on similar charges. Mr. Gonzalez said they made such decisions, to limit the spread of the coronavirus in city jails, and also because of freezes placed on some New York state criminal court operations, such as the assembly of grand juries.  source
