New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized bail laws after a man accused of attacking someone with a baseball bat was released for $7,500 days later.
"Every time we do our job as law enforcement and city administrators, we're seeing this revolving door of catch, release and repeat system that's really playing out all across the country. I say this over and over again. When are we going to pass laws that are going to protect the innocent people of this city and this country? We have to stop passing laws that protect the guilty," Adams said. Adam Sabes is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to Adam.Sabes@fox.com and on Twitter @asabes10.
