On Wednesday, Governor Cuomo approved the changes to the Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct passed by the legislature in January. NYSACDL applauds Governor Cuomo for taking this step, and thanks it’s partners, It Could Happen To You and the Innocence Project, for working with us to make this happen.
We also thank the members of NYSACDL Leadership & Legislative Committee who worked tirelessly to make this happen!
