Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell won't extradite murder suspect Raad Almansoori
Husband accused in wife’s stabbing death arrested after 30 years on the runback to the Big Apple because she doesn’t trust Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to do the right thing, telling reporters on Wednesday, “I think it’s safer to keep him here.”
“I’ve instructed my extradition attorneys not to agree to that,” she said. “We’re gonna keep him here. These are mandatory prison sentences. Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here.Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell says she won’t extradite accused Soho hotel killer Saad Almansoori back to New York because of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s soft-on-crime policies.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said this week that the department hoped to extradite the career criminal back to Manhattan to face murder charges in the Soho case.“It is deeply disturbing that DA Mitchell is playing political games in a murder investigation,” Tuttle said. “In Manhattan, we are serious about New Yorkers’ safety, which is why murders are down 24% and shootings are down 38% since D.A. Bragg took office.
“NYPD Detectives are fed up and it shows in the retirement numbers. New Yorkers should be fed up too.”
