[quote] But Legal Aid Society, which represents Barry, argued the NYPD is using a few cases to spread fear over the new bail reform law. “Mr. Barry’s case underscores the need for economic stability and meaningful social services, not a need to roll back bail reform,” the society said in a statement. “Locking up Mr. Barry on unaffordable bail or worse, remanding without bail, ultimately does nothing to protect the public and fails entirely to address his actual needs.”[/quote] 🤣
