Suffolk County Dem DA Nominee Has Long List of Don’t-Prosecute Crimes

The Democratic nominee for district attorney of Suffolk County is calling for prosecutors not to prosecute trespassing, shoplifting, larceny under $250, receiving stolen property, wanton or malicious destruction of property, drug possession with intent to distribute, and resisting arrest if that is the only remaining charge against a defendant.

They are among 15 crimes that Rachael Rollins wants assistant district attorneys not to prosecute as crimes  "unless supervisor permission is obtained," according to her campaign web site.
