New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle A - Governor's Office › Chapter I - Executive Orders › Part 8 - Executive Orders (Andrew M. Cuomo) › Section 8.147 - Executive Order No. 147: A Special Prosecutor to Investigate and Prosecute Matters Relating to the Deaths of Civilians Caused by Law Enforcement Officers

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, the Constitution of the State of New York obliges
					 the Governor to take care that the laws of New York are faithfully executed;
					 and
WHEREAS, I have solemnly sworn, pursuant to Article 13,
					 Section 1 of the Constitution, to support the Constitution and faithfully
					 discharge the duties of the office of Governor; and
WHEREAS, there have been recent incidents involving the
					 deaths of unarmed civilians that have challenged the public's confidence and
					 trust in our system of criminal justice; and
WHEREAS, public concerns have been raised that such
					 incidents cannot be prosecuted at the local level without conflict or bias, or
					 the public perception of conflict or bias; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to ensure that a full, reasoned,
					 and independent investigation and prosecution of any such incident is conducted
					 without conflict or bias, or the perception of conflict or bias; and
WHEREAS, the foregoing compels me to conclude that my
					 constitutional obligations provide that in cases where an issue of a real or
					 perceived conflict of interest exists, and to ensure full confidence in our
					 system of criminal justice, a special prosecutor should be appointed with
					 respect to such incidents. Such appointment of a special prosecutor will
					 supersede in all ways the authority and jurisdiction of a county district
					 attorney to manage, interpret, prosecute or inquire about such incidents;
					 and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ANDREW M. CUOMO, Governor of the State
					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
					 Laws of the State of New York, and particularly by subdivision 2 of section 63 
					 of the Executive Law, hereby require the Attorney General (hereinafter, the
					 "special prosecutor") to investigate, and if warranted, prosecute certain
					 matters involving the death of an unarmed civilian, whether in custody or not,
					 caused by a law enforcement officer, as listed in subdivision 34 of section
					 1.20 of the Criminal Procedure Law.
					 The special prosecutor may also investigate and prosecute in such instances
					 where, in his opinion, there is a significant question as to whether the
					 civilian was armed and dangerous at the time of his or her death;
FURTHER, for any matter covered herein, the special
					 prosecutor shall have the powers and duties specified in subdivisions 2 and 8
					 of section 63  of the Executive Law for purposes of this Order, and shall
					 possess and exercise all the prosecutorial powers necessary to investigate, and
					 if warranted, prosecute the incident. The special prosecutor's jurisdiction
					 will displace and supersede the jurisdiction of the county district attorney
					 where the incident occurred; and such county district attorney shall have only
					 the powers and duties designated to him or her by the special prosecutor as
					 specified in subdivision 2 of section 63  of the Executive Law;
FURTHER, for any matter covered herein, the special
					 prosecutor shall conduct a full, reasoned, and independent investigation
					 including, but not limited to, (i) gathering and analyzing evidence, (ii)
					 conducting witness interviews, and (iii) reviewing investigative reports,
					 scientific reports, and audio and video recordings;
FURTHER, for any matter covered herein, the special
					 prosecutor shall, (i) attend in person, a term or terms of the County or
					 Supreme Court to be held in and for the County of such appropriate jurisdiction
					 consistent with this Order, (ii) appear in person before any grand jury drawn
					 for any term(s) of said court, for the purpose of conducting any and all
					 proceedings, examinations, and inquiries, and (iii) bring any and all criminal
					 actions and proceedings which may be had or taken before said grand jury and
					 other grand juries concerning or relating to any and all alleged unlawful acts
					 as described by this Order;
FURTHER, for any matter covered herein, the special
					 prosecutor will provide to me, or my designee, a report on all cases where, (i)
					 the special prosecutor declines to present evidence to a grand jury regarding
					 the death of a civilian as described in this Order, whether in custody or not,
					 allegedly caused by a law enforcement officer, or (ii) the grand jury declines
					 to return an indictment on any charges. The report will include, to the extent
					 possible and lawful, an explanation of that outcome and any recommendations for
					 systemic reform arising from the investigation.
This Executive Order shall continue until modified,
					 suspended or terminated by the Governor.
Signed: Andrew M. Cuomo
