For those of you who missed a terrific and well attended DANY alumni event last week, Adam Kaufmann, Elyse Ruzow and I are incredibly excited to officially announce and launch OneHogan.Com, the alumni directory for former prosecutors and investigators with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Want to catch up with a fellow classmate from ‘92? You can search by rookie year. Interested in reaching out to a former colleague from Trial Bureau 50, DANY Overseas, Labor Racketeering or Major Economic Crimes, you can do that too. Need a sextortion attorney in New York, an employment lawyer in Des Moines, a matrimonial attorney in Los Angeles, or counsel for an asset recovery matter in Washington DC? That’s right, it’s all searchable at your fingertips.

The fee to join is $25 and $25 a year thereafter. With these dollars, we hope to build far more than a website where we can network. Beyond social gatherings, it is our goal to host events including CLEs and to honor former colleagues who continued their efforts and service well beyond the walls of One Hogan Place.

The DANY family remains strong. Join today and get reconnected!

“I think unfortunately [Attorney General Pam Bondi] has single-handedly brought us back many, many steps in terms of the rule of law and the Department of Justice, and that's really tragic.”

“I firmly believe the [DOJ can be rescued and revived]. I refuse to believe based on my life experience, the history of our nation, being active member bar within the criminal justice system and outside it, that we will [not] overcome it. It doesn't mean we're not going to stumble more, we’re not going to fall flat on her face, but I genuinely believe we will get up and we'll move forward and we'll fix ourselves and we'll get the right people both on the line assistant all the way up to the to the U.S. Attorney him or herself doing what's required for the betterment of the nation.”

New York Friends, U of Colorado and Colorado State Friends, and Former DANY Colleagues:

Please consider supporting current Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty in his upcoming Democratic primary to serve as Colorado’s next Attorney General. A decades long prosecutor, Mike has the moral compass and leadership skills necessary to protect Coloradans and shape policies at home and beyond.

If you are local to NYC, the host committee – Karyn Kornfeld, Steve Kobre, Karen Agnifilo, Jordan Arnold, Lisa Friel, Adam Kauff, and I, hope you can join us on January 29th from 6 to 7:30 PM in support of his candidacy.

I have known Mike and his wife since working with them both as prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office from 2000 to 2007 (and even before then sitting outside his office as an intern in 1999!). I am confident I am not alone in stating that Mike is a genuine, people-first public servant who has accomplished much for Coloradans and New Yorkers alike. Since 2010, Mike wore many hats including serving as a University of Denver Law professor, on the Attorney General’s DNA Justice Review Project, as Colorado’s Deputy Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Section, as an Assistant District Attorney, and as Boulder County District Attorney upon taking office in 2018. Serving on Colorado’s Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice and as past President of the Colorado District Attorney’s Association along the way, Mike modernized the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office creating the Domestic Violence Acute Response Team and the DA Vehicular Response Team, as well as making many other smart and effective advancements to protect the public.

Learn more about Michael Dougherty for Colorado Attorney General, and consider joining us on January 29th or supporting his campaign through the links below:

Full segment, albeit not a deep dive, discussing Renee Good’s homicide and the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross that lead to her death on NBC News’ Stay Tuned Now with Gadi Schwartz.

As I noted, and it seems to be the norm these days, two things can be true: Good needed to comply with the law and not obstruct law enforcement. That, however, doesnt mean she deserved to be shot or die. People need to stop placing themselves in the literal line of fire and instead pursue safe and lawful means to challenge ICE activities that don’t jeopardize themselves, agents, civilian or others’ safety.

At the same time, this was an unnecessary and fatal escalation by Ross based on what I believe to be an objective view of the “reasonable person” standard relevant here. It appears generous to assert Ross’ response of opening fire in a residential neighborhood with both civilians and fellow officers in the immediate area was an objectively reasonable response to what appears to not be an imminent risk of something as a serious physical injury or even death when we examine the car speed, wheel turning away, Ross’s ability to safely move away and dicharge his weapon from the side once he cleared the SUV, and even the lack of warning, concerns or other calls to “watch out” or similar from his fellow agents who ducked away from his shots. Further, objectively, it doesn’t help Ross that he exclaimed in anger not that he was almost or in fact hurt, but Good was a “f**king bitch”.

Lastly, and likely relevant here, according to reports, Ross was recently dragged by a vehicle 100 yards during a stop and injured. As much as we can and should empathize with that trauma, the legal standard is an objective reasonable person one, not that of a person who may be jumpy or quick to act because of a prior vehicular assault.

Though not addressed, Ross does NOT have absolute imminuty. It is a farce to assert as such.
