NYC judge faces calls to resign after he set free parolee who later shot cop: 'Stunning lack of judgment'

Councilman Robert Holden expressed outrage over Judge Edward Daniels' decision to release Gary Worthy, highlighting a lack of judgment given Worthy's violent criminal history and repeated parole violations.

Holden criticized Mayor Adams for appointing Judge Daniels, stating that public safety should take precedence over judicial leniency, especially concerning a repeat offender like Worthy.

Worthy, with 17 prior arrests and a history of serious crimes, was freed without bail, despite warnings from both his parole officer and the prosecution.

The mayor's office has yet to comment on the situation, but Holden insists that immediate action is necessary to uphold the public's safety and judicial integrity.
