What is the name of the prosecutor?
The district attorney of Manhattan County is Alvin Bragg. The district attorney of Kings County (Brooklyn) is Eric Gonzalez. Depending on if he’s charged in Manhattan or in Brooklyn, it would be one of those in charge of his case. Then it would be assigned to an assistant district attorney for prosecution.
“This appears to be a clear attempt to stifle both journalistic activities and pro-Palestine speech,” said Widdi, Seligson’s attorney.
As cops love to say, you can beat the charges, but you can't beat the ride. These charges likely won't stick, and he'll be sent on his way, but the effect of this attempt is clear. They want everyone who supports a free Palestine to be looking over their shoulder, wondering if they'll be swept up with trumped-up charges just like this journalist. It's how they "legally" suppress you.
That's what u get when fuck with the big fishes.
