After the Department of Justice told federal prosecutors in Manhattan to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Bennett Capers, associate dean for research at Fordham Law, spoke to The New York Times about what “the real harm” of this order is.
Bennett Capers, a former prosecutor for the Southern District of New York and a professor at the Fordham University School of Law, said “the real harm” of the Justice Department’s order “is to the idea that the rule of law applies to everyone and is free from politics. The real harm is to all of us.”
