“A settlement between New York district attorneys and the state has killed a criminal justice reform measure that would create an independent body to investigate bad prosecutors. The District Attorneys Association of the State of New York sued in October over the legislation, which it argued violated the state Constitution, that would create a panel to go after dirty DAs. Under the agreement between the prosecutor’s group and the state both the lawsuit and the creation of the panel are on hold — with the state being prohibited from making appointments to the commission.”
