    So-called progressive prosecutors and policies under fire, includes Marilyn Mosby

    With a spike in violent crime in cities across the country, including Baltimore, so-called progressive prosecutors and their policies are facing push-back, including, perhaps, Mosby.

    Nachtman says because of Mosby's decision to roll back stricter crime policies, including no longer prosecuting what she calls low-level crimes, like prostitution and some drug crimes, there could be political back lash.

    "Anytime you see a spike in crime, you're going to see voters go to the voting booth and push back against sort of tolerant policies," said Nachtman.

    The issue is detailed in Friday's New York Times with political backlash brewing for some high-profile prosecutors, including, San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin who's facing a recall vote in June.

    In Los Angeles, the county district attorney, George Gascon, is trying to avoid a recall effort, after criticism over his elimination of the death penalty and the prosecution of juveniles as adults.

    And in New York, Manhattan's new district attorney, Alvin Bragg is under fire over policies critics call too lenient.

    NYC landlord rips Manhattan DA Bragg after homeless career criminal arrested in Chinatown apartment stabbing

    "This is about the community and our elected officials need to do something much different because this was all avoidable," Brian Chin, Lee’s landlord, told reporters outside the building, according to Fox 5 N.Y.

    Chin specifically criticized Bragg's policies, arguing Lee's murder could have been prevented.

    "From a landlord’s perspective, from a store owner’s perspective, we’re terrified of this, his policies and what not. Armed robbery of a store is now a petit larceny? What insanity is this?" he said. "This guy, his rap sheet is a mile long, he should have been behind bars. Assault? Menacing? How is he out? This is outrageous."
