"In a court filing Wednesday, obtained by FOX Business, Madoff's attorney Brandon Sample filed a 'Motion for Compassionate Release' stating:

"Madoff presents "extraordinary and compelling reasons" for compassionate release and the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) recognizes that Madoff meets the criteria for a reduction in sentence based on his end-stage renal disease. This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated, in light of his terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months, is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society's value and understanding of compassion."

CBSNewYork — "Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder says bail reform changes may have left the victim of a brutal attack at the hands of suspected MS-13 gang members exposed. Police say the new laws are not helping them protect and serve, CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported.

Ryder had some harsh words for Albany on Wednesday. He said a 36-year-old man was found bludgeoned to death Sunday night in the back of an abandoned New Cassel home. Ryder said criminal justice reforms failed him.

“The system failed. The system failed. This man is dead,” Ryder said. “This law is not helping us.”
