Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie confirmed a significant breakthrough with New York City's five district attorneys concerning the revamping of laws governing evidence sharing in criminal trials. This announcement comes amid accusations from Governor Kathy Hochul that lawmakers are delaying the state budget due to unresolved issues. While Heastie expressed optimism regarding the framework for addressing the discovery issue, Hochul remains cautious and does not view the agreement as finalized, reflecting the ongoing tensions as the April 1 budget deadline approaches.
I believe we worked through, we have a framework on having the discovery issue resolved. I just briefed my conference and we're in a good place.
It sounds like very good news, doesn't it,
