NYC Christmas Tree Arsonist Walks Free Because Of Democrats Bail Reform Laws, Incoming Mayor Adams Hopes For Change

From ThePostMillennial.com…

The purported arsonist who set the News Corp Christmas tree on fire being allowed to walk free amid his misdemeanor charges is a prime example of why judge’s need bail again, says New York City’s Eric Adams.

The misdemeanor charges that 49-year-old suspect Craig Tamanaha faced at the time of his arrest were not bail eligible under New York law. In the case of Arson specifically — it’s only a felony if it inflicts harm on someone else, or is a part of a hate crime.

Tamanaha has a previous rap sheet of public intoxication and drug possession. Per Fox News, the suspect lit a piece of cardboard to set the tree on fire and caused $500,000 worth of damages.

New York City’s Mayor-elect Eric Adams called the Christmas tree arsonist a “picture perfect example” of why the state’s judges need more leeway to set bail conditions.
