Why Did the Brooklyn DA Fail To File An Indictment For a Crime Within Six Days?
On Saturday, December 23rd, a 49-year-old woman was raped and robbed at a business on 59th Street near 9th Avenue in Brooklyn. (Info here and here)
On Tuesday, December 28th, a 22-year-old Bay Ridge man was arrested. (Info here and here)
On Thursday, January 4th, a 25-year-old Brooklyn man was arrested as the second suspect in the crime. (Info here and here)
Brooklyn residents began to share online that the 22-year-old suspect had been released without bail. That is not correct.
On Friday, January 5th, the NY Post reported the man was released on Wednesday, January 3rd. (Info) The suspect’s attorney cited that Brooklyn District Attorney failed to indict his client within 6 days. (Info here and here ) Now the man is not going to be charged with this crime! *Why hasn’t the news and every newspaper in New York City reported this information?
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has not issued any statements and is not accountable to Brooklyn. There is no information on the (DA’s Website) or social media FOUR DAYS AFTER THE SUSPECT WAS RELEASED! Gonzalez doesn’t think Brooklyn needs to know!
The man is out on supervised release. How long is he going to be supervised?
How many times has the DA let people go because they failed to issue an indictment in time?
How has this kept rape and other crime rates low? DA Gonzalez keeps mentioning how crime is down. (See here)
If an Assistant DA made the mistake and Gonzalez didn’t catch it, then he needs to step down! He didn’t even have the decency to apologize to the woman who raped!
The three leaders for that area have not said anything about it! I don’t know if it is because they don’t know (it’s not on the news) or if they don’t want to speak out against DA Gonzalez:
a) Councilwoman Susan Zuang: [email protected] or @susanzhuangnyc
b) Senator Iwen Chu: [email protected] @SenIwenChu
c) Assemblyman Lester Chan: [email protected]

These local leaders should have contacted Governor Kathy Hochul for an investigation by now, but tt looks like the politicians are trying to let it go because Eric Gonzalez is their friend.
The 49-year-old Brooklyn woman deserves justice and she deserves to feel safe! This mistake can not just be pushed under the rug and forgotten because it happened in an immigrant community. Her employees must be very worried as well.
#SomethingIsntRightHere How did an experienced District Attorney make this big of a mistake? Brooklyn needs a new District Attorney, who is able to do the job!
Finally, please pray for the woman who was attacked. When the first man was arrested, she told the news she hadn’t slept since it happened.
Hugs,
