Prosecutors aren't above the law: Gov. Cuomo must sign legislation creating an oversight commission

"Since then, legislation sponsored by Sen. John DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) passed both the Senate and Assembly with bipartisan support. It would create the nation’s first Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct. Mirroring New York’s Commission on Judicial Conduct, which handles complaints against judges, it would have the power to investigate citizens’ allegations of prosecutor malfeasance and recommend sanctions."
