Ted Hamm Court Updates: A Small Slice of Justice Years in the Making

There’s not a lot of justice in our criminal justice system. And when it does come, it is often years in the making. In 2015, Saul Robles was convicted of killing Alex Santiago during a 20-person brawl that took place in Park Slope, Brooklyn. In 2019, an appeals court overturned the conviction finding numerous faults with how the Brooklyn DA’s office handled the case. Earlier this week, the DA’s office finally announced it would not try to retry Robles. The Indypendent’s Ted Hamm has been following this case closely and updates us on the recent good news.
