Not that it matters, but I guess they missed the litany of reddit posts from NYC'ers saying he'd dropped the jackson routine years ago and was focusing exclusively on assault.
This obviously isn't surprising in the least but still frustrating. I'm hoping there are a few jurors who are fed up and they acquit a la Bernie Goetz. Preferably with zero jail time in this case.
Very good point. In the late 80s there wasn't an online lynch mob ready to digitally intimidate you if you refuse to speak truth to power. And agreed with your last sentiment. Pathetic.

“And here are some important numbers,” Stefanik added. “In 2022, District Attorney Bragg's first year as DA, New York City saw a 23% surge in major crimes. Is that true?”

Ms. Harrison replied by sharing, “I'm a walking example of not ever being whole 18 years after losing a loved one under horrific circumstances and not seeing justice.

So I hope that he will pay attention to what's happening here today and realize the effect that he's having on survivors of homicide victims for the rest of their lives.”
It goes on and on, but basically the Democrats took a political beating over how their failed policies greatly increased crime and murder - and if you're familiar with this is means mostly (though not exclusively) the number of murdered black people went up.
They need someone else to blame to distract from their own failures. Basically they want to lynch someone.
