Eric’s coy on crime summit

Vague on results

Mayor Adams on Sunday touted to the media his twoday “mayoral summit on criminal justice’’ that he held with city district attorneys over the weekend — but he shied away from offering any major details.

Aside from downplaying the role that the state’s bail-reform laws may have on rising city crime, Adams and his team threw around terms, such as “infrastructure’’ and “urgent action items,’’ which left more questions than answers.

“We’re having an issue around the infrastructure of our criminal-justice system,” Adams told reporters, referring to his office’s discussions with district attorneys, lawenforcement agencies, judges and advocates. “This antiquated infrastructure is impacting on the ability of New Yorkers seeking justice on both ends of the spectrum.”

City Hall plans to form working groups with the various participating entities to focus on pre-trial discovery, mental health and “urgent action items,” officials said.

But Adams provided few details about what aspects of the criminaljustice system need to change, other than his wish to create a “centralized portal” for pre-trial discovery and to reduce the amount of time defendants spend waiting for “30-second” court appearances before a judge.

Officials also hope to introduce what they called “care vans” to greet defendants after their first court appearances and offer them mentalhealth resources, Chief Counsel to the Mayor and City Hall Brendan McGuire said.

“We’re obviously just coming out of this, and so we’re still formulating the list of urgent action items,” McGuire told reporters.

City Hall held the summit two days after Adams blamed the news media for fueling a “narrative” that the city’s subway system is unsafe.
