Governor Kathy Hochul is drawing parallels between her leadership style and that of her early educators, particularly in her compassionate yet resolute approach to justice reform. Personal experiences with her mother, an advocate for domestic violence victims, fuel her commitment to changing New York's criminal justice laws. Hochul aims to address the disheartening statistic that 94% of domestic violence cases are dismissed, largely due to existing restrictive laws surrounding evidence gathering. Her advocacy, which gains support from organizations like Sanctuary for Families, reflects a deep understanding of the implications for victims and their safety.
Hochul's commitment to reform New York's criminal-justice laws stems from her personal experiences with domestic violence, guiding her fight for vulnerable victims in need.
The alarming rate of case dismissals in domestic violence situations highlights the urgent need for reform, as 94% of cases are dismissed due to restrictive legal practices.
