Controversial Brooklyn Judge Matthew Sciarrino set bail on gangbanger Ousmane Diallo in August — and now the career criminal is charged with attempted murder.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Matthew Sciarrino ignored prosecutors’ request to keep career criminal Ousmane Diallo behind bars without bail in a Crown Heights shooting in August, and instead set bail in the case.
Diallo had initially been remanded into custody by another judge after he was charged last year with attempted murder, conspiracy and gun possession charges, records show. Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Matthew Sciarrino, who has come under fire for going soft on criminals, including a gangbanger charged in a new attempted murder case.
“Least restrictive in a New York State bail statute means exactly that,” OCA rep Lucian Chalfen said in a statement Thursday. “And for anyone who thinks a $500,000 bond with electronic monitoring and keeping the case in Supreme Criminal Court and not the Youth Part, as we requested, is of little significance is not living in 2023.”
Sciarrino has also gone easy — repeatedly — on Tevin Lawrence, a 21-year-old career criminal who was busted at least five times between August 2021 and November 2022.
