New Yorkers reflect on crime and safety in the city
Two brutes accused of randomly pummeling an 82-year-old woman on a Bronx street have been released without bail — despite the violent pair
Prosecutors asked that each of the 32-year-old defendants be held on $30,000 cash bail or $90,000 bond during their arraignments in Bronx Criminal Court on Thursday and Friday, the District Attorney’s Office said. “We don’t comment on release or bail decisions except to say that in cases like these in New York, judges have discretion in making these decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an individualized assessment of a defendant’s risk of flight,” said Al Baker, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, in a statement.
The heartless duo threw the woman to the ground, then stomped on her — all without saying a word, according to police.They managed to stay on the lam for two weeks before cops collared Ballinger on Wednesday and Moore on Thursday, authorities said.Ballinger has been arrested eight times in the past, most recently for drunk driving in the Bronx three years ago.
