Ernst Delma, a 41-year-old career criminal, was recently released on bail after a judge reduced his bond from $200,000 to $80,000. Shortly after, he allegedly assaulted a woman in Times Square, highlighting the dangers presented by repeat offenders in New York. This raises concerns among law enforcement and the public, as Delma was previously charged with assaulting an NYPD officer. Victims and law enforcement officials express outrage over his release, underscoring the debate over bail reform and its implications for community safety.
"Nobody should be surprised that a dangerous repeat offender who attacked a police officer in full uniform would turn around and attack a defenseless New Yorker," NYPD PBA President Patrick Hendry said.
"A man who raises his hand to females isn't a man at all and should be in jail," the victim's sister expressed concerning Delma.
