The author of a controversial report released last year naming New York City judges who purportedly order pretrial detention more than their peers has released a new study on the city’s judiciary, this time identifying judges who have had their sentencing determinations reduced on appeal.
In the new report, Scrutinize, a judicial watchdog organization that co-authored last year’s report on New York City’s “disproportionately carceral” judges, identifies judges who had sentences reversed or reduced from 2007 to 2023 and includes cumulative totals of the years taken off their determinations.
