When Queens District Attorney Richard Brown steps down from his post on June 1, he will turn control of his office over to his longtime right-hand man John Ryan, a veteran prosecutor who Brown calls a “close and trusted friend,” until a new district attorney is elected.
Brown, 86, who has served as Queens DA since 1991, announced on March 7 that he will resign before his term ends, citing health reasons; he suffers from Parkinson’s disease.
