Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Patricia Nuñez told The New York Post that she will address the issue further at a Nov. 12 court date for the suspect, Tyrone Howard. The paper reported that Howard was freed despite a history of three felony sale convictions and the urging of prosecutors in the drug case.
Officer Randolph Holder's killing Tuesday has raised questions about the risks and potential shortcomings of drug courts, or drug diversion programs, which have been embraced nationwide as a way to ease jail overcrowding and reduce crime by attacking it at one of its sources: drug abuse.
New York's mayor and police commissioner have branded Howard a career criminal who had once been arrested in a 2009 gunfight on an East Harlem basketball court and should not have been out on the streets.

He looks retarded.
The trouble with this judge [Patricia Nuñez] is., there's too many more just like her.
Isn't there or shouldn't there be a failsafe for judges' decisions in the event of a major err in judgement?
Oh Ok. shhhew... Thank God she is Truly Sorry!
Needs to vacate!
This judge was probably high on something, or filling up her bank account... she needs to GO.
She should be removed.
The dirtbag has no doubt murdered before, and didn't get caught.
At a certain point, there's no point in caging, let alone trying to train and civilize a wild, vicious dog. Just give him the magic needle and be done with it.
