Brooklyn DA indicts 36 defendants for violent crimes in first week after grand juries reconvene
In the first week that grand juries were empaneled since March, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez wasted no time in indicting 36 individuals, he announced on Wednesday.
The 36 people, who were all previously held on bail or remanded, were involved in all sorts of alleged activities including homicides, gang shootings, attempted murder, rape and other serious felonies.
“With the resumption of grand juries, we are able to redouble our efforts at fighting violent crime in Brooklyn,” Gonzalez said. “The dozens of indictments we obtained over the past week ensure that dangerous offenders remain in custody as we seek to bring them to justice.”
