Move over, Alvin Bragg, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Denise Clark, may be even more woke and sympathetic to criminals than the controversial NYC DA.

Clark has served as the Bronx County District Attorney since 2016. Clark is the first woman to hold that office, and the first woman of color to serve as a DA, has an incredible record of freeing thugs, and miscreants into the general public to terrorize the Bronx.

NY Post reports:

Clark, 61, also turned down more attempted murder and sex-assault arrests over the last five years than every other prosecutor in the city combined, according to data from the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.

She declined to prosecute at least 101 attempted-murder arrests of varying degrees since 2018, while the other four district attorneys refused to take a total of 80 attempted homicide arrests among them.

The Bronx prosecutor also rejected 172 rape and 51 sex-abuse arrests of varying degrees during that time period — more than the 166 alleged rapes and equal to the 51 abuse arrests declined in the four other boroughs combined.

“I’ve had a number of cases dismissed in Bronx County based on a confluence of events, none of which involved the merits of the case,” criminal defense lawyer Todd Spodek told The Post. “They were dismissed based on prosecutors being unable to file certificates of compliance on time, based on prosecutors having uncooperative witnesses. It’s never one thing, it’s always a lot of things combined.”

The NY Post also reported: late last month, Clark told the City Council that 2019 discovery reforms — which she backed at the time — were in part to blame for high dismissal rates in her office.

But data shows that she won convictions in less than a combined quarter of 2018 murder and attempted murder arrests by her office in that year before the new laws went into effect.

“That’s the problem with all progressive prosecutors … they are backing and advocating for all these social justice initiatives and they’re using them as a scapegoat to not do their jobs,” Jennifer Harrison, founder of Victims’ Rights NY, told The Post.

“What people don’t realize is there’s a correlation between conviction numbers, dismissal numbers, and the amount of cold-blooded killers walking amongst us,” Harrison said. “That’s why people don’t feel safe working in a bodega or walking down the streets in the Bronx.”

“No matter who you are, New Yorkers believe that anyone committing murder, rape, and sexual assault must be held accountable. There are many reasons to disagree with DA Clark, on a number of issues and on her approach, but this is beyond unacceptable.”, Tess Cohen, a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor in New York’s Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor who is running to unseat Clark for Bronx DA, told The Post.

“It is difficult to speak to voters in the Bronx, the voter turnout is extremely low, and the few that vote almost 100% of the time vote Democrat, no matter who is running, in the Bronx, a turkey sandwich can run with a D next to its name and win in a landslide, there is no Republican party in the Bronx literally, and I doubt Clark will be primaried, so few people vote in the primary,  a Bronx resident said
