During night two of the RNC, Madeline Brame, mother of a 35-year-old Army veteran who was murdered in New York City, unloaded on the rise of crime in America and the nation’s soft-on-crime DAs like NYC’s Alvin Bragg.
“He received enemy fire from the Taliban only to be murdered by a knife in New York City,” Brame said of her son, Sgt. Hason Correa.
Brame said the group of individuals responsible for her son’s death were “initially facing justice” but that “changed when District Attorney Alvin Bragg was elected.”
From The New York Post:
Her son, a 35-year-old Afghanistan war veteran, was fatally beaten and stabbed by a group of four people during a scuffle outside a Harlem apartment building six years ago.
Brame railed against what she called Bragg’s “soft-on-crime” approach.
“Two of the homicidal maniacs responsible for my son’s death had their gang assault and murder charges completely dismissed,” she said.
“Alvin Bragg charged her with assault with a shoe,” she raged, referring to one of Correa’s assailants.
In 2022, the Manhattan DA’s Office downgraded and dismissed charges against two of the four offenders — Christopher Saunders, James Saunders, Mary Saunders and Travis Stewart — responsible for the deadly attack.
Christopher and James Saunders were both convicted for the gang assault and are serving 20-year sentences in prison, while Travis Stewart was sentenced to seven years in prison for the same charge.
Mary Saunders was released from prison in May 2022 on time served after spending 14 months at Rikers Island.
Brame has claimed in the past that Bragg’s office treated her and her family “like garbage” as it prosecuted her son’s attackers.
