NY - human body parts found near a popular park in Babylon, Long Island, 28 Feb 24.

Governor Hochul is missing the point! It is NOT OK to have dismembered a body (let alone two), and be out walking the streets. It's just not. Stop avoiding the fact/proof that bail reform does not work. Laying blame on which charges the prosecution filed, and not including murder charges. Obviously there was not enough evidence yet to charge anyone with murder.

warning: pic of severed arm (sort of blurred... ugh) at link. that was not what i was expecting to see in the article.

the one guy who is accused is the deceased's cousin. why??? i cannot comprehend this.
can someone explain this bail thing to me bc not eligible for bail i'd assume means they CANNOT walk out all willy nilly and yet...??!?!?

The two people who were brutally murdered before having their remains butchered and scattered in a public park for children to find have been identified.

Police and family identified the victims as Malcolm Craig Brown, 53, and Donna Conneely, 59, on Monday.

The details emerged on the same day two of the people accused in their heinous case, Steven Brown, 44, Malcom's cousin, and Amanda Wallace, 40, appeared in Central Islip Court.

Distraught family members watched their bail hearing, with one yelling out 'how could you?' and another telling the suspects 'do the right thing.'

Jeffrey Mackey, 38, and Alexis Nieves, 33, were all also arrested in connection to the case last week.

Mackey and Neives were in court on Friday, and on Monday the other two suspects were in court. All four have been released back on the streets thanks to the state's 'no bail' laws.

Suspects facing charges relating to mutilation and disposal of murdered corpses are no longer eligible for bail after New York reformed its bail laws in 2019.

Because no Murder charges have been filed yet, I am wondering if this was a case of two overdoses, and the suspects panicked, not wanting to call the police. Sorry if this sounds judgmental, but they all do look like drug addicts to me. MOO

As for New York's bail reform, here is an article explaining it simply. Something must be done about it.

The Facts on Bail Reform

In 2019, New York lawmakers passed legislation that eliminated the use of cash bail for most misdemeanors and some nonviolent felony charges, in an overdue recognition that a person’s wealth should not determine their liberty.But in 2020, prosecutors and police departments led a misinformation...

The problem is that this crime (only charged with dismembering as of now) and many others (rape for example, yes rape) are considered non-violent. Unbelievable.

DISGUSTING. you can see how seriously these two are taking their role and charges in this heinous act

 

[ChatteringBirds]

I know this case is real, but it feels like a bad movie. From what they did to the victims, to then just dumping them in public, to them being allowed to walk free (!)
NY change your laws quickly!
These suspects are sick, sick, sick. Which means dangerous.

Even if the victims "just" OD'd, they could have dropped them off near a hospital or just called 911 and said they came home and found them OD'd.

It's a little ironic that she is IN JAIL for petit larceny after walking free for alledgedly butchering 2 bodies. Yes, I know it is due to violating parole. It's just so backasswards.

But shortly after that initial discovery, a photo that appeared to be of one of the arms in a pile of brush that was circulating on social media appeared to show at least one of the fingertips missing and a tattoo that appeared to say “Sandy” on the back of the hand. Babylon school officials urged students to not share the photo.

“We understand that students may circulate potentially graphic photos of the crime scene investigation that took place near our schools,” Superintendent of Schools Carisa Manza said in a statement. “With that understanding, we advised teachers on how to speak with students about the incident, and had conversations with students and families on how to address photos of the crime scene that may be circulating on the internet and social media platforms. While we cannot stop students from viewing potentially disturbing content on the internet, we advised our students to avoid sharing such photos. Additionally, we have encouraged all students and staff who may be feeling anxious or upset about last week’s incident to take advantage of the mental health resources in all three of our buildings.”

Alexis Nieves, 33, was arrested last week along with the three other suspects in connection with human remains that were found scattered across Long Island, including in Bethpage State Park.
[snip]
Sources told The Examiner that Nieves, 33, grew up in Valhalla, and attended Holy Name of Jesus Elementary School and Valhalla High School. She graduated from Valhalla in 2009. Her current address was unclear, although published reports stated that she may live in the house in Amityville.

“I would say she was always on the defensive, which made her tough to get along with,” said a former Valhalla classmate of Nieves who asked to remain anonymous. “You knew even at a young age it was because she had it tough at home.”
[snip]
“She was frequently bullied by peers, and from what I saw, knew of her home life, she was not well-supported at home,” Tessema said. “I remember her spending a lot of time outside of home and at friend’s houses. She was a good friend to me and kind to my family. We all hope she will be cleared.”
