District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced that his office would vacate 188 convictions on the grounds of due process violations following investigations from the newly created Post-Conviction Justice Unit. "New Yorkers must know that everyone is acting with the utmost integrity in the pursuit of equal justice under the law," Bragg said in a statement released on Thursday. "Without that belief, our criminal justice system will never be able to deliver real and lasting safety that every community deserves." Arrests for the vacated convictions happened between 2001 and 2016, according to the district attorney's office. The majority of people faced either fines or incarceration following their arrests.
