Urging @SenGianaris to ensure that the Youth Interrogation bill, S2800-C, is brought to a floor vote and passes during this legislative session. The bill would require that all youth under 18 be provided an attorney before they can waive their #Right2RemainSilent

READ our latest OpEd from @dawnemtchell calling on Albany to enact legislation that would ensure young New Yorkers' access to counsel prior to a police interrogation. #Right2RemainSilent timesunion.com/opinion/artic…

THIS 👇🏻 Chief Attorney @dawnemtchell makes the case for why we MUST pass a law requiring young ppl the right to counsel. It is too easy for things to go terribly wrong. #Exonerated5

90% of youth waive their Miranda rights! We call on NYS to pass a bill to ensure that children’s constitutional rights are protected and minimize harm from false confessions. The countdown is ON to pass S2800C/A5891C. #right2remainsilent
