BLIND JUSTICE: Ad campaign attacks a compromised Brooklyn prosecution
A group campaigning for prosecutorial integrity has launched a national advertising campaign that attacks the prosecution of innocents — and the office of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes is in its crosshairs.
The group, Blind Justice, says it wants to “ensure that elected officials don’t turn a blind eye to prosecutors who trample on the rights of the accused to get a conviction.”
The television ads, which feature alleged wrongful conviction cases involving local district attorneys, began airing Wednesday in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Houston, Texas.
