Jed Shugerman was quoted in a KFGO article about New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s request to Governor Andrew Cuomo to give him power to bring criminal charges against individuals pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Jed Shugerman, a Fordham University law professor, said Schneiderman’s “balanced” proposal both protects people from “repeated harassment” by a single group of prosecutors, and also “protects against pardons being used to obstruct justice.”
He said its adoption would bring New York law in line with laws of several other U.S. states.
