Mayor Eric Adams' legal team is seeking to have the corruption case against him dismissed, citing prosecutorial misconduct. They argue that leaked internal Justice Department communications have undermined his presumption of innocence, filled with false accusations. The motion claims that the government's actions warrant dismissal with prejudice, especially given that the Department of Justice no longer supports the case. This motion follows a resignation from interim US Attorney Danielle Sassoon, who criticized DOJ pressure regarding the case against the mayor.
Simply put, the government's conduct has destroyed whatever presumption of innocence Mayor Adams had left, his lawyers argued in the motion.
The most appropriate recourse is to dismiss this case now and do so with prejudice. That is true based on this latest leak alone.
