NY Governor Fires 14 Workers Over Prisoner Death; Subway Crime Surges Despite Governor's Claims
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has fired 14 workers at a state prison following the death of an incarcerated man. The incident, which took place at the Marcy correctional facility in central New York, involved an attack on Robert Brooks, 43, who died in a local hospital a day after the attack. Meanwhile, despite Hochul's claims that crime has decreased on the NYC subways, a woman was set on fire and burned to death on a train just hours after the governor touted her efforts to make the subway safer.
