Weighing in on the war of words—and blame—between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the state court system over what has caused of the city’s weeks-long major rise in street crime, the Legal Aid Society is calling de Blasio’s comments blaming courthouse closures “utterly devoid of logic.”

“Mayor Bill de Blasio’s claim that the recent uptick in shootings is somehow the fault of our court system is entirely unsupported by any evidence and utterly devoid of logic,” said Tina Luongo, attorney-in-charge of Legal Aid’s criminal defense practice, in a statement.
