GOVERNOR CUOMO’S STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS: STATEMENT BY STATE BAR PRESIDENT SEYMOUR W. JAMES, JR.

“The New York State Bar Association has long supported the audio/visual recording of police interrogations and improving police identification procedures to achieve more accurate eyewitness testimony.

“We are eager to work with the Governor to turn our shared priorities into realities.  These commonsense reforms will create a more just and safe society."
