Crime with No Consequences

Mary Moriarty oversaw the prosecutions of Somalian Abdihamat Bille Mohamed. She agreed to plea deals for his 2 rapes. The deals gave him NO prison time. Months later… He raped another woman.
- Arrest Count and Timeframe: The juvenile had been arrested 111 times between August 2023 and the police news conference in mid-October 2025, which averages out to roughly one arrest every few days over that period.
- Charges: The arrests included 55 counts of auto theft and 45 counts of larceny from a vehicle, in addition to seven charges of stolen property.
- Other Findings: Police also discovered multiple firearms in the teen's possession at one point. A phone confiscated as evidence reportedly contained internet search queries related to harming law enforcement, such as "What is the charge for killing an officer?" and "Is police murder a charge?".
- Release: Despite this extensive history, the juvenile was repeatedly released back into the community, most recently in September 2025, leading to significant criticism of the judicial system from the CMPD and local residents.
- Context: CMPD officials used this case as a prime example of the "cycle of catch and release" and the challenges posed by repeat offenders, calling for a broader discussion around pre-trial release standards for both juveniles and adults

Eric McMichael, 27, was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court and hit with a slew of new charges for viciously attacking a young girl and threatening to shoot her if she didn’t follow him into the Williamsburg stairwell Thursday night, prosecutors revealed. Prosecutors said the alleged predator, who was out on parole for a 2013 robbery conviction, grabbed the preteen in the lobby of her Cooper Houses building on Morgan Avenue near Jackson Street Thursday night, growling “I need you to come with me, or I’ll shoot you.”
McMichael – who was previously nabbed for a violent 2019 Staten Island rape – dragged the young girl into a stairwell and shoved her to the ground before committing the heinous sexual assault, prosecutors said. “An eyewitness encountered them and saw the defendant with no pants on, and the complainant, who made an outcry for help,” Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Jordan Rossman said during the arraignment.
“The defendant fled. The eyewitness brought the complainant upstairs to her family’s apartment where her mother was, and the mother saw the child bleeding from her legs.” Rossman said the distraught mother called the police and took her daughter to the hospital in stable condition. His parole officer recognized a photo of him and he was arrested. He now faces four counts of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, second- and third-degree burglary – including as sexually motivated felonies – two counts of sexual misconduct, forcible touching, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, second- and third-degree sexual abuse, second-degree criminal trespass, and endangering the welfare of a child.
McMichael was previously arrested on Oct. 22, 2019, after allegedly stealing a 29-year-old woman’s phone and raping her at knifepoint in an abandoned Staten Island building on Sept. 8, 2019, police and sources said. The victim knew her attacker, who reportedly removed a door’s screws to break into a deserted structure.McMichael, who lives in a homeless shelter on Clay Street, pleaded guilty to the rape and was ordered to undergo mental health treatment, the Staten Island Advance reported at the time. Sources said he was busted again on Aug. 28, 2023, after allegedly pretending to brandish a gun to carjack a livery cab driver.
McMichael is being held without bail. He is due back in court on Thursday.
Oct 18, 2025 A 15 year old in Charlotte has been arrested 111 times and is still walking free… 55 vehicle thefts, 45 break-ins, multiple guns, and searches for “killing an officer.”
This isn’t justice. It’s insanity. The system is currently protecting a criminal more than the community.

Aaron Walker, 28, allegedly punched and shoved a 24-year-old police office officer onto the subway tracks at a station in the East Village on Tuesday night. One police officer was seen escorting Walker to Manhattan Central Booking, where he was set to be arraigned on eight charges.
They include attempted murder, attempted assault, attempted reckless endangerment, two counts of criminal trespassing, and two counts of disorderly conduct, according to the New York Police Department.
Court records also show that Walker was released on Sunday for another alleged subway assault in Brooklyn, days before he'd allegedly go on to attack the cop. The cop who was attacked suffered minor injuries to his head and body after getting into a vicious fight with the suspect at the 14th Street/Third Avenue L train station, police said.
The officer, who was heading home from working the United Nations General Assembly security detail, was walking on the southbound platform when Walker allegedly sucker punched him in the back of the head, grabbed him by the shirt and threw him onto the tracks, The New York Post reported.
According to police, Walker also fell onto the tracks, though both men were able to get themselves back onto the platform, where they continued brawling.
Walker then jumped onto the northbound tracks and started heading toward the 14th Street-Union Square station, according to police.
Responding officers then drove to the station, including the injured cop, and found Walker riding an uptown L train. He was arrested at the scene.
Walker has 18 prior arrests, with the most recent being on Saturday when he was seen smoking a cigarette on a train in Brooklyn.
Him getting caught for that inadvertently led police to realize that he was wanted for yet another subway assault that occurred on September 13.
That afternoon, police said Walker sat down next to a 22-year-old man on a C train at Fulton Street and Kingston Avenue and punched him multiple times in the face and head. he victim in that case was a stranger to Walker and was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Walker was charged with third-degree assault in connection to this, which is a misdemeanor that is not bail-eligible.
Therefore, he was granted supervised release during his arraignment hearing on Sunday, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said. Walker was also arrested last week for allegedly stealing clothes and a home decor item from the Target on Greenwich Street near Park Place in Tribeca, The Post reported. For this, he was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property and released on his own recognizance. Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office had asked for supervised release.
Going further back, Walker was arrested in both July and August for stealing vinyl records from two different Barnes & Noble stores, the first in Brooklyn and the second in Manhattan. Neither of the alleged thefts were enough to keep him in custody because the charges weren't serious enough to allow a judge to set bail. For Walker's alleged attempted murder of a NYPD officer on Tuesday, he will likely be arraigned sometime tonight.

Fredrick Marshall, 42, was pictured for the first time Monday as he appeared for a brief court hearing tied to the viral caught-on-camera attack in Cypress Hills over the summer. Marshall remained free without bail after being accused of grabbing and bear-hugging the 20-year-old stranger on the Manhattan-bound J train platform at Norwood Avenue in broad daylight on June 29, cops said.

He stood expressionless during his hearing in Brooklyn Criminal Court, and declined to comment after the brief appearance.
Footage of the assault showed Marshall being stopped by a crew of quick-thinking good Samaritans who stepped in and allowed the distraught victim to flee. Marshall was arrested in the wake of the shocking encounter and then cut loose on supervised release, as the charges, which include third-degree assault, were not bail-eligible, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
It’s unacceptable. It’s really insane to me how they could just release somebody after they did that,” the victim told CBS News in the wake of the attack.
Marshall’s next court date is October 10.

A 15-year-old boy with a rap sheet was arrested — while still wearing an ankle monitor — for a deadly shooting this week during an explosion of violence in The Bronx, police and sources said Friday. The teenager, identified by law-enforcement sources as Daniel Martinez, was charged with murder for the shooting death of Kelvin Mosquea, 34, outside NYCHA’s Sack Wern Houses Tuesday, authorities said.
The broad daylight shooting is believed to have been the result of a robbery gone wrong, sources said – and added to a weeklong wave of gun violence for the Boogie Down, which saw seven shootings since Saturday, leading four dead out of a dozen injured, officials said. A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged with murder in the Tuesday Bronx shooting death of Kelvin Mosquea, 34, police said.. The shooting allegedly by the baby-faced Martinez unfolded as he walked up to Mosquea in front of the public housing building on Croes Avenue near Seward Avenue and accused him of stabbing his friend, sources said.
Martinez, joined by a second person — who remained on the loose Friday — then allegedly shot Mosquea in the chest as they attempted to rob him, cops and sources said. The NYPD’s gang database showed Mosquea had links to the Black Stone Gorilla Gang, according to sources. Martinez does not appear in the database but the shooting is being eyed as possibly gang-related.
The other possibly gang-related Bronx shooting in the past week was a gun battle during a basketball tournament in Haffen Park on August 23. The appalling mass shooting killed a 32-year-old man, identified as Jaceil Banks, injured three others and left an innocent 17-year-old girl fighting for her life after a stray bullet ripped through her face.

The appalling mass shooting killed a 32-year-old man, identified as Jaceil Banks, injured three others and left an innocent 17-year-old girl fighting for her life after a stray bullet ripped through her face. Erick Torres, 32, a school bus driver who lives near the park, said he believes the uptick in violence is both tied to lower economic status of the area and parents not being involved in their children’s lives. “Usually (young people), they get into gangs, promising them money like reaping some type of enrichment,” he said.
Martinez, the teen arrested in the unrelated shooting Tuesday, was still wearing an ankle monitor as part of a previous criminal case when he was picked up for the murder by city sheriff’s deputies, sources said. He has at least two other armed robbery arrests in the Bronx from this spring, including an April 17 incident in which he allegedly stole someone’s phone and wallet on the street while another youngster concealed what appeared to be a gun in his sweatshirt pocket, according to a criminal complaint. A few weeks later, he and another minor allegedly both flashed guns while they ripped a chain off a pedestrian’s neck and snatched his iPhone as well as his wallet, which held $900, court papers reveal.
Martinez was released on his own recognizance in connection to one of those cases, and in the other, he was ordered held on $3,000 cash bail or $15,000 bond – which he ultimately posted, according to the sources.He was also arrested in connection to two Manhattan armed robberies from May 7 and May 8 – and ultimately transferred back to the Bronx because of his open matters there, law-enforcement sources said. Martinez was ordered held without bail during his arraignment Friday in Bronx court on the murder charge.
Mosquea was one of two people killed in separate shootings across the northernmost borough on Tuesday, when two others were also shot and wounded, cops said. The other fatal victim was identified as Clay Monsanto, 32, who was shot in the back outside an apartment building on Anthony Avenue near Mount Hope Place at around 8:10 a.m., cops said.
Three more people were shot on Wednesday, with one killed, Ryan Hynes, 37, allegedly by their furious neighbor, 44-year-old Jimmy Avila, during a dispute over their shared backyard on College Avenue near East 170th Street in Mount Eden, cops said. One law-enforcement source said shootings were actually down 30% in The Bronx this month.
The high-profile spate of shootings, such as the neighbors’ dispute, have been driving the recent surge, the source said. “We have shootings that are not traditional shootings that we normally see,” the source said. “They’re irregular in motive.”
Stopping the bloodshed will be the primary goal of 1,000-cop deployment Mayor Eric Adams said soon would swarm violent hotspots in the Bronx on foot, although he played coy Friday as to where.
“If we tell you where they’re located, then the bad guys would know where they’re located,” he said during an event with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

A career criminal who allegedly kidnapped a mom and her two young children and forced them at knifepoint to help him rob a Kentucky bank was released from prison just a year earlier after a Dem-appointed judge granted him so-called “shock probation.”
Armond Langford, 32, allegedly broke into the family’s east Louisville home on Friday and forced the woman to drive him to a bank, where he demanded $20,000 from a bank teller working the drive-thru, according to local reports.
Langford, who held a knife to the woman’s throat during the terrifying ordeal, then stabbed the mom in the abdomen and ran off, leading police on a hours-long manhunt before he was arrested,
He was then sprung by Judge Jessica Green — who was appointed as a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge by Kentucky’s Democrat governor, Andy Beshear — just five months later in July 2024.
Judge Green cut the career criminal loose on “shock probation,” which gives offenders a second chance after they spend a short time behind bars. The idea is that the time spent in prison will shock them and deter them from committing crimes in the future.
One of Langford’s previous robbery victims described how his family had pleaded for a lenient sentence during his trial last July.
Deloris Ezell was robbed by Langford at a Chase ATM during his four-month crime spree in 2021.
“She talked about what a good child he was and promised how he was going to do so much for her, but they wanted him out on probation, so that’s what they got,” Ezell told WAVE 3.
Langford’s attorney argued his client suffered from paranoia and personality disorders, but had sobered up and was doing well in a halfway house.
Langford was arrested on Friday afternoon, hours after the alleged robbery and knife attack in Lyndon, east of Louisville, and held on a $300,000 bond. He faces multiple charges including robbery, kidnapping and assault, WLKY reports. Judge Green is set to preside over a hearing to discuss revoking Langford’s probation on Sept. 15
