It is our understanding that the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) is still investigating these murders. Unfortunately, due to “Bail Reform” passed by the New York State Legislature in 2019, charges relating to the mutilation and disposal of murdered corpses is no longer bail-eligible, meaning my prosecutors cannot ask for bail. This is yet another absurd result thanks to “Bail Reform” and a system where the Legislature in Albany substitutes their judgment for the judgment of our judges and the litigants in court. We will work with the SCPD to resolve this investigation as soon as possible and implore our Legislature to make common sense fixes to this law.
