with just 13 months on the bench has already sprung at least three maniacs — including the unhinged nutter who allegedlyJudge Marva Brown cut loose Markeese Brazelis on a 3rd-degree sexual abuse charge last week for groping a woman on a C train platform at West 50th Street and Eighth Avenue, despite the charge being bail-eligible, according to court records and law enforcement sources.

The mentally ill man also had been charged with trespassing last week for entering a prohibited area of a Bergen Street subway station, sources previously said. The jurist’s dangerous decision last month isn’t an outlier. Other cases where Brown sprung violent perps without bail include:in the head with a metal water bottle at the 34th Street-Herald Square station before fleeing. The Manhattan DA’s Office argued the subway psycho, who had at least eight prior arrests, had failed to show up to three out of her five court dates in the year before the unprovoked attack and should be held on bail, but Brownfor trying to swipe a $325 Moncler hat from a Midtown Nordstrom, prompting Brown to issue a $500 bail order.

Brown shrugged off prosecutors’ request to hold him on $100,000 cash bail on felony assault and criminal weapon possession charges, and let him out on supervised release. Brown “lets everyone go” because she “doesn’t believe bail is a necessity,” a Manhattan police officer with over two-plus decades raged. “It puts all these people back into the streets to hurt other people in the city, and it seems like it doesn’t matter to her,” said the veteran cop.Brown, elected in November 2023 to serve a 10-year term in Brooklyn Civil Court, ran on the Democratic and far-left Working Families Party lines. The ex-Legal Aid attorney, who previously served on the board of the nonprofit Families and Friends of the Wrongfully Convicted, received endorsements from liberal pols’ such as state Assemblyman Brian Cunningham and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. Following her win, leftist City Councilmember Chi Osse , whose district overlaps with Community Board 8, where Brown previously was a member, praised her as “amazing” and “an indispensable community member.” Brown, who also goes by Marva Brown-Henry, is currently pulling down a taxpayer-funded salary of $216,400 as a city Civil Court judge. A spokesperson for the Office of Court Administration said she is currently sitting in Manhattan Criminal Court in a routine assignment to help with the court’s “operational needs.”Brown shrugged off prosecutors’ request to hold Amira Hunter on $15,000 cash bail after she randomly bashed a cellist with a metal bottle at a Midtown subway station.that, as a judge, she would be “fair and impartial” to those who come before her, but also would apply her own discretion. “I have empathy, I have foresight to say, ‘This person can be better and can do better if given the proper tools and opportunities,'” she said.

Forrest, 29, in the head with a bottle as he performed in the Herald Square station.But in many of these cases, Brown could have considered the lengthy rap sheets of the perps before her as disincentivizing them from returning to court because they’d likely face a stiffer penalty, according to Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, a former senior trial counsel with the Manhattan DA’s Office. “Obviously when you hear of one judge releasing so many violent recidivists that go on to release, it’s extremely infuriating and disheartening,” said Jennifer Harrison, founder of the group Victims Rights NY. “Unfortunately, there are not enough good people to step up to the plate and run against these woke idiots and lunatics that are running the asylum.” An OCA spokesperson said the office doesn’t comment on bail decisions and that judges “have discretion in making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an individualized assessment of a defendant’s risk of flight.”Canada, Mexico strike back with retaliatory tariffs on American goods hours after Trump's executive action2 NYers ID'd as DC plane crash victims, with 36 others yet to be recovered from the site: officials, familiesTrump rips CNN anchor after she grills president during press conference on deadly DC crash: 'Not a very smart question'Black man cropped out of NY Mag's 'Cruel Kids' hit piece speaks out: 'They insinuate I was throwing some KKK kumbaya' Stars like Taylor Swift and Martha Stewart love these crossbody phone cases — and they make great Valentine’s Day giftsSelena Gomez’s ‘Emilia Pérez’ co-star Karla Sofía Gascón called her a ‘rich rat’ amid rumored Hailey Bieber feud: report Justin Baldoni releases unseen texts from Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively as he launches lawsuit-focused websiteJudge Marva Brown cut loose homeless man Markeese Brazelis on a bail-eligible sex abuse charge just days before he shoved a woman into the side of a speeding A train.Brown shrugged off prosecutors' request to hold Amira Hunter on $15,000 cash bail after she randomly bashed a cellist with a metal bottle at a Midtown subway station.Amira Hunter is seen bashing Iain S.
