Brooklyn DA candidate Fliedner accuses Gonzalez of refusing to prosecute police officers
Gonzalez campaign: A ‘Despicable Lie from a Desperate Candidate’
Marc Fliedner, who has more than 15 years’ experience within the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office in two stints, left the office in a public way a little more than a year ago claiming that it had become too political.
Now Fliedner, who is one of six people running for district attorney in Brooklyn in an upcoming election, claims that the office has become even more political under Acting DA Eric Gonzalez. Furthermore, Fliedner now claims that Gonzalez told him that they would temporarily not be prosecuting police officers.
“When I brought Eric Gonzalez additional cases that needed to be looked at for charging [following the trials of Peter Liang and Joel Edouard], I was told by Eric Gonzalez that, ‘We’re not going to be charging police officers for the next few months.’
