Creating a Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct would allow a fair procedure for the public to voice concerns regarding improper prosecution, lack of prosecution, and selective prosecution. Specifically, the commission would:
- receive complaints and initiate their own investigation when it appears prosecutorial misconduct may have occurred;
- ensure the right to a fair trial by enforcing the obligation of prosecutors to observe acceptable standards of conduct and to establish accountability for the conduct of prosecutors during the performance of their functions, powers, and duties;
- allow citizens to voice their concerns over improper prosecution and have the ability to discipline a prosecutor or allow him or her to clear their name of wrongdoing.
Mr. Cuomo has made criminal-justice reform a signature of his long career in public service; as governor he's overseen the shuttering of more than a dozen prisons and restored voting rights to tens of thousands of New Yorkers on parole. He knows as well as anyone that prosecutorial misconduct is a serious and stubborn problem that has largely defied solution. By signing this bill, he would move New York in the right direction, as well as set an important example for the rest of the nation.In a press release received yesterday from the coalition called "It Could Happen to You," Garriga is quoted as saying: "Legislation that would be first in the nation, legislation that is a model for the rest of the country. Yes, I believe the governor wants to be on the right side of history."
